Troubleshooting Your Empty Deck Issue
I understand your frustration - you’ve reinstalled Anki 24, synced with AnkiHub, but you’re still not seeing any flashcards. This is actually a common issue that has a simple solution!
Why You’re Seeing 0 Cards
When you first download a deck from AnkiHub, all cards are suspended by default. This means they’re in your collection but won’t appear for study until you unsuspend them.
Here’s how to fix it:
- Open Anki and click on the Browse button on the main screen
- In the left sidebar, look for your deck name
- Click on the deck to select it
- Press Ctrl+A (or Cmd+A on Mac) to select all cards
- Right-click on the selected cards and choose Toggle Suspend
- The cards should change from yellow (suspended) to white (active)
Alternative method:
- In Browse, click on the Tags section in the left sidebar
- Navigate through the tags to find specific topics you want to study
- Select those cards, right-click and choose Toggle Suspend

There’s a helpful tutorial on this exact issue available at: 🤝 Subscribing to a Deck (scroll down to the “0 Cards Upon Installation?” section)
Let me know if this works for you! If you’re still having issues, could you tell me:
- What specific deck are you trying to use?
- Are you able to see the deck name in your Anki, just with 0 cards?
- Did you confirm the AnkiHub add-on is properly installed and you’re logged in?
