      Fresh install, it works! Extensions are required to be “trusted” but other than that everything seems to be in the same place.

      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.

    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.

      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

        Easy to say when you’re not the one getting the notice/threat

          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?

      I think their strategy is fine to avoid any potential lawsuits like Paperback. But, their notice period is quite surprising.

      Yes but just because they dont want to deal with the hastle doesnt mean others wont keep supporting it. Especially in the manga-space where stealing is very much an everyday occurrance

      If you don’t already have one, use Kavita instead. It’s newer, has surpassed the Komga interface, and is still supported on T.

          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).

          Ahh, I tag my media using Mylar3, which adds a ComicInfo.xml to each file. Kavita seems to prioritize that over the filesystem.

    What does this mean? Are they gonna remove all extensions just like that? We have to download the mangas now just to read them?

      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.

    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.

    What an unfortunate (or maybe fortunate?) time to have installed Tachiyomi for offline reading

    I guess I should be glad I was able to get what I needed before this happened

    I didn’t update the app and all my installed extensions work fine. What’s the MO for now? Update and re-add the extensions or just chill?
