I think this heavily depends on your learning type. For some it may work for others not. What is important that it actually helps some people and these people have no foss alternative around.
Well I used Anki for quite some time during my studies and I really didn't like it.
First of all I'm a visual guy and the UI is pretty ugly imo. For example it's default card formatting feels very unintuitive for me.
Secondly the spaced repetition algorithm Anki uses isn't as effecitve for me as Quizlet's. Which puts me into a bad situation as I refuse to use Quizlet because it's closed source.
And finally the learning quality is heavily depending on the deck. Some are really making use of the various features which make Anki so versatile but most decks don't.
I think it's highly personal what suits you best but I really like the idea of a rewarding system or some fun repetition options just like Quizlet has it.
Hah what? So you are running from bad corporations to daddy government? Somwhere I took another turn because this journey turned me into a libertarian.
Doesn't it depend on us which communities are active and which are not? I have noticed that a lot of people are ready to comment on topics they find interesting but far less actually want to contribute content to work with. Which is also OK. I much prefer communities with few but meaningful posts to content dumps where a lot of rather uninteresting news articles are shared on a daily basis and no one wants to respond to.
Yeah I'd better not pay with my data. No seriously, why do I need to have a microsoft account to join a random server? I prefer Minetest's approach where you have a separate login per server. Yes it may be a bit more arduous but in the end I dont play on more than 4 servers max.
Which is also totally OK. I think we have false expectations about what a community has to be. In the end we are the community and the people are still there.
Exactly thats also how I feel oftentimes. I only post things I really find intriguing or really worth to share. And many others probably feel the same. Soaybe it's just the nature of the people here than a problem of the service itself.
That also something I thought about lately. As a moderator of some hobby/interests communities this sticks out even more. But then why isn't anyone posting? I mean in /c/minimalism we have over 1k subscribers but barely any posts or comments on the few posts made. Is it really the platform or is it us?

I'm sorry I assumed Marxism-Leninism instead of libertarian socialism because of the predominant tankie culture here on lemmy.
