I did an export/archive of the Git repo from a commit before they got rid of Batoto and Mangadex right after they nuked them (ie, no Git data, just the bare source code) yesterday morning. I’d be willing to share it with someone willing to rehost/restart development on them.
Unofficial extensions are still being updated. I’ve got working bato and everything. Haven’t run into issues so far. I’m not sure how this korean company got to them or why, since they’re not even hosting the content. But either way, things should be good for now.
Tachiyomi is too good to fail. It’s the best manga reader that has ever existed. It’s open source. If they need to offload extension support onto less organized entities, then so be it. The community isn’t going to disappear.
I’m not sure how this korean company got to them or why
They just sent a hail mary DCMA directly to the devs that’s not even enforceable. If it was, they’d have to go through GitHub with a DCMA request. But the Tachiyomi devs folded for no reason
A notice that couldn’t be enforced. They could have told Kakao to file their DCMA through GitHub like they’re supposed to do. If the DCMA is filed outside that it’s not enforceable
Again. It’s easy for you to say when you’re not the one getting the notice.
Maybe the Dev has too much crap to deal with in their life. They are making software for free already. And now they’re expected to add another mental task?
Maybe they just hate confrontation. Or have heard stories of what corporations can do to those that piss then off. Heard lots of stories of the little guy beating a corporation lately?
Oh, Komga is good, I just find everything about Kavita to be more modern. More options for layouts, deeper filtering, tablet and more phone friendly UI, etc.
Where are you guys sourcing your manga? I’ve bought a few on Amazon and converted them to epub. I also have some raws from bookwalker but as far as I can tell their stuff is super locked down. Where else could I acquire manga?
How about the order of the contents? I actually have both installed but use Komga exclusively because Kavita always wanted to order my comics their way and not in the way I wanted (folder order).
Yes. Tachiyomi has removed all extensions from the app. Forks like TachiJ2K are affected as well. However, you can still download and use the existing extensions. They’ve been backed up to some external repos. Just choose the new repos as the extension source and you’re good to go. But as they’re not getting fixes and such anymore, those existing extensions will only continue to work until they don’t anymore. After that, idk, maybe some new extensions will be developed by someone else, or you’ll just have to bring your own content.
Do you need to reinstall the extensions for this? I can’t get it to work with TachiyomiSY. Edit: maybe some extra context: TachiyomiSY is still attempting to fetch stuff from the removed repo, even though I’ve added the new one, so it still fails.
This will help bring back most/all of the extensions. As for untrusted sites, just click it. Although, I am not sure if updates for that extension are still going to work.
Probably not, they explained it in the FAQ, it’s different storage formats and Tachiyomi has their own file extensions wich they can’t work with… MANUAL MIGRATION IT SEEMS…
i need a week for that… 2k Mangas to migrate :/
It would be cool if the anilist sync would be bidirectional this would solve the problem.
No, you can’t. This is due to the difficulty in supporting and adapting the .proto.gz or .tachibk format that Tachiyomi uses. Also Kotatsu and Tachiyomi and its forks have different data structures that they use. For Neko for MangaDex users we recommend to use Nekotatsu.
I wonder how reliable this workaround will be in the future. Will the external repositories be purged in the future as well? Perhaps straying away from github is a more sustainable answer.
I am a Komga user because finding comics is a mess for me (in Spanish) but I am surprised at how easy it is to find manga with Tachiyomi/Aniyomi (I think the latter has the extensions broken for a while).
