"What I don't understand is, how anarchists saw something interesting in what the PKK was doing, and ignored the uprising of 2011 and all what happened since then"

Oh, it was a mix of things - not the least of which being the fact that the Kurdish struggle had a new coat of paint and looked much shinier when anarchists found it. This was in no small part thanks to the propaganda efforts both sincere and calculating of its partisans which ranged from glowing reports from visitors to the region (Graeber had nothing but good things to say about it after his official tour, including praise for its prisons) to the promotion of death cults around Western martyrs for the cause by solidarity websites and Kurdish news outlets thirsty to drum up more young blood to help fight for the cause. All of this was filtered through news outlets like IGD and even here.

It was especially exciting because everyone could get a piece - boring reds got municipal libertarianism and collective farms, anti-civ anarchists got exciting reports about solidarity volunteers attacking ISIS proclaiming how they were attacking Leviathan. If anything reds were less gung-ho about the whole thing given their suspicion of cross-class alliances under the cloak of nationalism, and some of the best critical pieces on Rojava actually ended up on infoshop.org.

Why did anarchists ignore the initial uprising? By the time they started paying attention it had too many men with beards for their taste, and because their news was coming largely through the lens of PKK solidarity it was all poisoned by the specters of Islamic fundamentalism and Turkish support. The fight against Assad wasn't sexy, it didn't have enough women in fatigues with guns flaunted cynically before the eyes of a Western audience, and importantly it wasn't the fight the Kurds were fighting. While there has been some effort to correct this - the Tower has published a few pieces by Omar Azziz (one of which also made the rounds on IGD and here but subsumed within the torrent of Rojava) - sadly, anarchist understanding of what was happening in Syria will amount to sorting through ashes of that more vibrant time rather than taking an active part.
