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
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.
I'm not sure how this korean company got to them or why
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
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 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
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.

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
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://kotatsu.app/manuals/faq/general/#can-i-restore-my-tachiyomi
Can I restore my Tachiyomi backup to Kotatsu?
No, you can't. This is due to the difficulty in supporting and adapting the .proto.gz or .tachibk format that Tachiyomi uses. Also Kotatsu and Tachiyomi and its forks have different data structures that they use. For Neko for MangaDex users we recommend to use Nekotatsu.
Will look into that as well, thank you.
I wonder how reliable this workaround will be in the future. Will the external repositories be purged in the future as well? Perhaps straying away from github is a more sustainable answer.
What was the Kakao dispute?
The devs just completely folded to some bogus copyright claims against their extentions
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)
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.
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.

Time to set up a Komga server, I guess.
If you don't already have one, use Kavita instead. It's newer, has surpassed the Komga interface, and is still supported on T.
What do you mean newer? And Komga is also still supported
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.
Thanks for the recommendation.

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 is a good fork?
TachiyomiJ2K is what I use.
yeah, the main repo on Github have been deleted. we have to rely on external sources.
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
Will this affect aniyomi?
all tachyomi derivatives that use that central repo will be affected
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
I see, ya that makes sense, thanks
I am a Komga user because finding comics is a mess for me (in Spanish) but I am surprised at how easy it is to find manga with Tachiyomi/Aniyomi (I think the latter has the extensions broken for a while).
