    Someone will surely find a workaround to this. Half my library on tachiyomi is from mangadex lol

    Edit: I did find a workaround, an unofficial repository for mangadex and bato extensions. As of the moment bato extension seems to be broken, but hopefully a patch will be released soon. The developer of the extension still plans to maintain it afaik

      30% of my mangas are located on mangadex and the others are located on different sources. That’s good because my migration process to other sources is not really tedious. That’s why diversification of different sources are important nowadays

    If the Tachiyomi devs don’t reverse this somehow (which seems unlikely given what I’ve read about past cases of this, custom repo it is I guess) they probably just killed the app. Ubless you are aware of how to get Mangadex and bato back Tachiyomi is now a worse option than even just using your browser again for most people.

    Seems like the devs even folded like wet noodles wgen they had (to my knowledge) risk free options of at least attempting to prevent this, such as demanding the dmca to be filed with GitHub (saved youtube-dl for example since their repo got reinstated after Google withdrew their claim)

    This sort of non-reaction is just asking for the wolves to tear the project apart, after this any copyright holder with no leg to stand on will file claims agaonst Tachiyomi for whatever sources remain. Because why shouldn’t they? It’s a 100% success rate and they don’t even risk anything (illegally) abusing DMCA with people like this at the helm of the project.

      Most of not all my mangas are not from mangadex, they are from either scanlators groups or scrappers (who earn no money from me since I don’t see their ads so it’s morally the best option for me).

      FMD2 (for auto-downloading manga), Komga (for hosting manga on a local server), and Tachiyomi for a self-hosted solution, if you’re interested.

      We retain a policy of goodwill for legitimate takedown requests, whether it be from copyright holders or scanlators acting in good faith.

      Yes, what a legitimate good faith takedown request for code in a repository that this company didn’t own the copyright to.

      The copyright system is an absolute joke.

        Fuck this, is there any alternative we could use? Anyone planning to support a fork?

        And i guess their sub. Went there to try and find any info and the top mod just nuked it all. Even the release support post

      Thanks, still no luck.

      I guess batoto has made changes

      EDIT :

      I also found this on another unoffical repo

        wow what a shitshow. I’m really not well versed in who the tachiyomi devs are but just blindly following copyright notices, then only explaining firther upon prodding (with the result being a seemingly flimsy takedown request) on top of restrict8ng 3rd party addons leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Any of those individually already would bit this leaves a “trying to suck up to corpos” bad tase for me.

        Edit: not sure exactly how the extensions get disabled but the two from the mentioned repo still work for me after a force stop of tachiyomi so just being an unofficial extension might not be enough to deactivate it

          I’m using tachiyomi fork, and I found the batoto extension (revived). It works again after migrating a lot of series to the new extension.

    Heads up, as of last night you can’t search MangaDex via the old extension. Manga you already have favorited are still updated, but you can’t find new ones to favorite

    Hmm might switch to the Neko fork then, since I don’t think that relies on extensions. Not sure what to do about Bato though

      I can confirm that Neko still works flawlessly for me. I only use Mangadex so have never really been interested in the wider Tachiyomi space.
