I've been contributing to Google Maps for a while, specifically, I usually upload pictures of menu's from restaurants, so future visitors can see them before they decide to eat there! I'm trying to degoogle my life a bit & was wondering if there is a way I could contribute these to OSM?

@ApplyingAutomation You can use https://mapcomplete.org/food for this - it has reviews (thanks to @mangroveReviews ) and picture upload

How is the connection between OpenStreetMap POIs and Mangrove Reviews? How does a map user find the reviews for a specific POI?

I was checking out https://mangrove.reviews and it seems that it is using Name+GeoCoordinates to identify an POI.

@redd Basically that. In @MapComplete , I'm simply querying nearby reviews and seeing that the name is somewhat similar.

This means that is a shop changes name, they lose their reviews.
