Reading: What are AnkiHub's "recommended settings"?

I understand you’re having a sync issue with AnkiHub, particularly around your FSRS parameters getting changed between your PC and AnkiDroid. Let me help explain what’s happening.

Why This Happens

When you open Anki on your laptop, you’re seeing a prompt to download decks. This likely happens because:

  1. Different FSRS parameters: Your AnkiDroid has different FSRS scheduling parameters compared to your PC version.

  2. Recommended settings: When AnkiHub suggests downloading decks, it offers to apply “recommended settings” which will change several parameters including those related to scheduling. Even though you uncheck this option, there still seems to be a conflict between your devices.

What’s Being Changed

When AnkiHub applies “recommended settings,” it changes:

  • Daily limits
  • Learning steps
  • Graduating interval
  • Maximum interval
  • Easy bonus
  • New interval
  • And other scheduling parameters

These changes can affect your FSRS parameters, creating the conflict you’re experiencing.

Solution Options

  1. Force a one-way sync: As you mentioned, this is a valid solution. You should:

    • Choose which device has your preferred FSRS settings
    • Go to Tools > Preferences > Network
    • Check “On next sync, force changes in one direction”
    • Sync and choose to either “Upload” (to keep your computer’s settings) or “Download” (to keep AnkiWeb’s settings)

  2. Standardize settings: After syncing, make sure to manually set the same FSRS parameters on all your devices to prevent future conflicts.

  3. Be careful with AnkiHub downloads: When installing or updating AnkiHub decks, always review the settings carefully and make sure to uncheck the “recommended settings” option if you want to preserve your custom FSRS parameters.

Remember that Anki can only sync data in one direction when there are conflicts it can’t merge automatically, which is why you’re experiencing this issue with different parameters on different devices.
