https://github.com/keiyoushi/extensions I found this external repo. you guys might take a look

[–] abs_mess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ardi60@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

Sadly, some of mangas are missing. So, I need to redownload the mangas again

[–] ReluctantZen@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

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.

Hey, really glad to see you coming here!

I found another spare for repo. if the current alt goes down https://github.com/ThePBone/tachiyomi-extensions-revived

I use batoto extension (revived) from this repo, it works on TachiyomiJ2K. Not sure with the latest Tachiyomi

[–] CerineArkweaver@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

Used this for Batoto and Mangadex. Works for TachiyomiSY

[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Bro wtf. Tachiyomi just got killed.

Is there something similar out there? I think its time to leave the sinking ship

Hope the company dies.

Found something:


More (settings) > Browse > Extension repo

Copy & paste the link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keiyoushi/extensions/repo/index.min.json

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.

For more info: https://github.com/keiyoushi/extensions/

I been using Kotaksu and so far I love it, actually some of the manga sites that went shut down on Tachiyomi are available there, for now.

Tachiyomi Alternatives:

PS: I'll update the list if find more.

[–] efreak@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

The official forks:

  • TachiyomiSY
  • TachiyomiJ2K
  • TachiyomiAZ

Other forks:

  • Dantotsu adds support for anime and novels as well.
  • Aniyomi adds support for video as well
  • Animiru is Aniyomi without the manga parts (ie only for video)
  • Yokai no idea what's changed here besides name/icon...
[–] American_Jesus@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks, i'll add to the post and test them https://lemm.ee/post/20876051

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

Time to set up a Komga server, I guess.

[–] 0range0281@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

What a sad day to wake up.

[–] archomrade@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] CerineArkweaver@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dvdnet89@lemmy.today 1 points 10 months ago

thanks, we have 2 active alt repo so far. the third backup repo is most welcome

[–] neshura@bookwormstory.social 1 points 10 months ago

Not surprised in the slightest. Having a doormat DMCA policy and then not even using GitHub as a shield (like youtube-dl for example) is just asking for it. The dev response doesn't really help so I guess the App is dead. Maybe a fork will pick up the pieces but I have no trust in the main repo devs to do the right thing or work in the users interest.

[–] Tau@sopuli.xyz 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What was the Kakao dispute?

[–] neshura@bookwormstory.social 0 points 10 months ago

Essentially Kakao Entertainment abused DMCA to get all extensions removed despite the Extensions themselves not containing any DMCA material. What allowed this to spiral so out of control (it started out with only Bato.to, Mangadex and Kissmanga being removed) was that the Tachiyomi devs have absolutely 0 spine and 0 will to prevent DMCA abuse. They just folded at the requests immediately without any sort objection or demand to go through GitHub instead (this approach in particular has worked in warding off false DMCA claims because that way the corporations have to somewhat publicly press their illegitimate claim, worked wonders for youtube-dl afaik)

[–] Digital_Prophet@kbin.social 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Lol they might as well just shut down at this point. Without extensions Tachiyomi is basically a non-app.

[–] Uiop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] ardi60@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Stormcrow@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] ardi60@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

it will be better if you start moving to third party repo because those old extensions will be unmaintained by tachiyomi dev

[–] aPirate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] ardi60@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

all tachyomi derivatives that use that central repo will be affected
