Can somebody help me understand the recent issues that the manga reader Tachiyomi is facing and how to bypass them?

I have some idea that the devs got DMCA notice from some company and they are trying to shutdown the forks as well. I also read that some extensions won’t work or need to be added from unofficial sources. So my question is how to get back to the smooth experience as before with trustworthy extensions and forks. If there is...

wjs018,

Here is a guide to a third party extensions repo that was linked in a discussion thread the other day.

I haven’t personally done this with my Tachiyomi yet, but have heard from others it has worked well.

wjs018,

The project relies on extensions that are installed separately to pull content from different services (mangadex, mangaplus, etc.). The other day, the tachiyomi devs removed almost all the extensions that they were hosting/maintaining after a threat of legal action from a Korean webtoon company. Here is a relevant discussion thread.

I most recently watched 100GF. I don’t know if that is a blessing or a curse. Rentaro is a lot to live up to.

For some reason, this post reminded me of the illustrations Reiji posted to his twitter of Chizuru drawn on top of photographs. Here is the first example I could find from a quick search, but there is a whole series of them.

wjs018,

There are lots of weird kbin/lemmy interaction quirks. For the community linking, you need to include the instance as well. So if you wanted to link the community this post is in (using lemmy syntax) it would be written as !animemes@ani.social (note that you don’t need to include linking markdown, it will automatically be parsed as a link) even if you are on ani.social.

As for bot accounts not federating, that is especially frustrating for the !episode_discussion community since it means that kbin users just see a vast desert of a community that contains zero posts.

wjs018,

Yeah, it must be a kbin/lemmy translation issue then. I think you are right in that kbin is parsing it as a link, and then lemmy is writing that out with link markdown. So, it seems as though the syntax just won’t work for kbin users (at least you won’t get notifications from the bot each time you do it since you are on kbin).

I wish there was a way to link to things in an instance-agnostic way, but unfortunately that is not possible yet (open github issue).

wjs018,

Here is a post on the anime community about it. Basically, there is a bit of a backlash against Mappa by others in the industry right now for setting timelines way too aggressively, forcing tons of overtime on the animators.

wjs018,

Yes, this is a panel from that same series, much later on. I will reiterate what I said in that thread that the series is great and worth checking out for the genius absurdity that is contained within.

wjs018,

If you haven’t read this series before, it’s fantastic. The author crams in so many visual gags it is really impressive. Also, they are able to keep surprising with the humor. One of the risks with these silly premise manga is that they get old. However, this one has only gotten better as its gone on.

I only wish it published more frequently.
