Question about studying kanji (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I've heard in many places that I should learn to write kanji and their use in vocabulary instead of stuff like readings. Is this true? Is that stuff actually useful or would you be wasting your time learning it?

Depends on what you want to learn. If you want to learn how to write in Japanese, you have to learn how to write kanji. Learning the readings is how I think they are taught in school. I personally am just learning what kanji are used in what way in specific sentences, and what they mean. That way you can eventually write that sentence in hiragana or in kanji.
