Hello fellow WaniKani users,
I used to study kanji everyday, and I got all the way up to level 13 in 2017. The problem is that when I looked back at all the reviews, I hardly recognize anything except the most basic kanji. Also, a lot of the radicals seem to have changed since back in the day. What should I do? Do I reset? And if so, to what level?
Thank you for your advice.

Hey, I remember you! Welcome back!
I think I would just reset since it’s been so long. It would only set you back a few months at most but would give you lots of time get back into the habit and re-familiarize yourself with the content.

Oh well… Back to level 1 I guess!

I think resetting is a good idea. But check the levels before resetting to the first one to see whether or not that far down is necessary.

Well, it took 86 days, but I’m finally back to level 13 again! I have once again reentered uncharted territory, so we shall see what happens as the WaniKani journey continues…

this is probably not super helpful at this point, but I did a similar thing, and the old radical names still work for reviews (e.g., “canopy” used to be “mullet”; I advanced this radical past apprentice using the old name only to find that the kanji “store” called it canopy instead).
