https://github.com/keiyoushi/extensions I found this external repo. you guys might take a look
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.
Fresh install, it works! Extensions are required to be “trusted” but other than that everything seems to be in the same place.
Sadly, some of mangas are missing. So, I need to redownload the mangas again
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 found another spare for repo. if the current alt goes down https://github.com/ThePBone/tachiyomi-extensions-revived
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
Used this for Batoto and Mangadex. Works for TachiyomiSY
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.
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.
thanks, we have 2 active alt repo so far. the third backup repo is most welcome
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
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.
What a sad day to wake up.
Time to set up a Komga server, I guess.
Tachiyomi Alternatives:
- Mangayomi - https://github.com/kodjodevf/mangayomi
- Very similar to Tachiyomi
- Also with anime sources
- Doesn’t support Tachiyomi backup import
- Kotatsu - https://github.com/KotatsuApp/Kotatsu
- Doesn’t support Tachiyomi backup import
- Neko - https://github.com/CarlosEsco/Neko
- MangaDex only
PS: I’ll update the list if find more.
Thanks, i’ll add to the post and test them https://lemm.ee/post/20876051
- Mangayomi - https://github.com/kodjodevf/mangayomi
Lol they might as well just shut down at this point. Without extensions Tachiyomi is basically a non-app.
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
Will this affect aniyomi?
all tachyomi derivatives that use that central repo will be affected
What was the Kakao dispute?
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)
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?
it will be better if you start moving to third party repo because those old extensions will be unmaintained by tachiyomi dev
