I looked at the discussions for both wikis but I wouldn't really say that they're "active". Dr. Stone's discussions page has a post every couple of days to a month with low to no comments, while Kimetsu has more frequent posts but again suffers from lack of comments for the most part (a lot of it is fanart and polls anyway). Compare that with reddit which has more frequent posts and comments. Both of these series are manga which I feel is not a good comparison with Re:Zero which is a light novel

Maybe the discussions page were popular back when the anime was airing, but nowadays reddit is the better of the two (who knows, reddit may have been more popular even then)

If Discussions were enabled, an entire new demographic of users will suddenly be able to interact on this Wiki in a way they simply cannot via comments.

Why doesn't Fandom just make the app compatible with comments instead? That way everyone can participate without locking anons out and forcing them to make accounts

I don't see how discussions "allows for far more broad & general topics of discussion" than regular comments. Do you mean fanart and polls?
