it looks like implications of Kakao dispute is getting harder
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.
Wonder if they will figure out a way to import Tachiyomi backups or series lists now…
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.
https://github.com/KotatsuApp/Kotatsu is an option. It’s no Tachiyomi but it works.
https://github.com/keiyoushi/extensions I found this external repo. you guys might take a look
Fresh install, it works! Extensions are required to be “trusted” but other than that everything seems to be in the same place.
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.
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)
