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
- About one-third my library from batoto 😭
  but hopefully a patch will be released soon.
  I really hope for this
- this company was registered in 2021... They definitely don't have a case as mangadex
  Tapas bought by Kakao, and some titles uploaded on batoto.
  S.Korea's Kakao to buy two U.S. storytelling apps for $950 mln
  This is from one of the webtoon series on batoto
  I'm not sure why they sent the removal request to tachiyomi devs
- I wouldn't endorse Mangakakalot, they had some involvement in the Mangadex DDOS/breach a couple years back. Not to mention unlike MD they're a scan aggregator, which basically means they take scans from other sites (like Mangadex) and slap ads on top of them.
Even though they are closed and conversation has been locked links to GitHub issues for those interested : Issue #19553 and Issue #19554
- 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.
- Wow, I was wondering why those were 404ing, saw the repo was deleted and a new one was just created, and saw this post from 15mins ago:
  https://old.reddit.com/r/Tachiyomi/comments/192157x/2024_there_is_the_end/
  TLDR: they purging all extensions.
  
  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
You can use this https://github.com/keiyoushi/tachiyomi-extensions
- Thanks, still no luck.
  I guess batoto has made changes
  EDIT :
  I also found this on another unoffical repo
  
  Sounds like the app will have to be forked?
- Thanks! MangaDex now works with this
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keiyoushi/extensions/repo/index.min.json
  is the URL I used to add in TachiyomiSY extension repo.
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
- Still working as of yet but havent updated (thanks to the post).
https://github.com/KotatsuApp/Kotatsu here's actively maintained fork
They purged the entire extension list, the limpdick cowards. Time to jump ship, so long and thanks for all the fish!
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.
Should tachiyomij2k be fine?
- Yeah it works fine with batoto extension revived from anorher unofficial repo
Surprised no one has mentioned Neko yet
