Advice on arrangement of decks for FSRS to properly work

Hello anybody who knows FSRS:

So I know that FSRS uses certain parameters specific for each deck.
However, I have a concern given my way of arranging my decks.

So I prefer to study all my cards from all decks (language, medicine, etc) randomly and together in one session. That is why I have arranged all of my decks as subdecks of a Main Deck (I have named it “King Deck”). So whenever I decide to study anki, I only have to choose the main deck and start studying all decks randomly. (I am attaching the screenshot of the arrangement.)

Also, I have always kept the same settings for all decks under my default settings in the SM2 algorithm and it has mostly worked well so far. I get 85-92% recall on mature cards regularly. I have not yet changed the settings to FSRS but I intend to change it to FSRS after getting advice on this.

So, if I keep my arrangement of decks, will FSRS work according to its true intention ie, separate parameters for each subdeck, or will it have the same parameters for all decks? Should I keep or change the arrangement of my decks? If I have to change, is there a way to randomly study all decks together without a Main Deck?

Thank you very much

Basil

Hello,

Yes if you switch on FSRS, it will work with your management.

Each deck will have its own preset depending on what you choose. When you click the settings icon next to a deck, you can see what preset it has

Each subdeck can have its own FSRS parameters and retention setting, even if its under one main deck

Okay, thank you for the quick reply!
