Also saw it. Hope the maintainer is not overdoing it and getting burnt out.
Watchout this asswipe kakao corp trying to sue Mangadex
did something happen to tachiyomi that I'm unaware of?
edit: it's not getting developed by the original devs anymore https://tachiyomi.org/news/2024-01-13-goodbye
Heads up to everyone, Mangayomi asks for "all files access" in Android, which is generally only reserved for default systems apps. And it keeps asking for it even if you say no and ignore the popup.
Neither Tachiyomi nor any other app has asked me this before. I'm going to caution against using Mangayomi due to this sketchy behavior from them.
Tachiyomi used to have that, but nowadays it only asks for access to one folder and does all its business in there.
They must have been many years ago because I've been on there since before covid and I don't remember that
Was recommended Dantotsu
Relies on an anilist account, and can be used for both anime and manga.
Does it support comics?
Don't think so
I'm trying to decide between Dantotsu , mangayomi and kotatsu right now.
The standalone list doesn't mention it, but Neko can import the Tachiyomi backup, though only the Mangadex manga of course. It's also actually a Tachiyomi fork and was endorsed by them until Kakao struck AFAIK. Figured it was good to mention.
Tanks, i don't really read anime, only comics and didn't test that. I'll add it later.
https://aniyomi.org/ here's another one
I'm not really in the loop about Tachiyomi, except that I use it occasionally so can you explain to me the reason behind this post? Is something wrong with Tachiyomi, what are the benefits of switching to alternatives/forks here?

TLDR: a stupid Korean company sent a cease and desist to the Tachiyomi devs, they caved in and are ending the project
Just wondering if the Mandadex and Bato.to extensions work on these forks? Since this whole thing started off with those two getting delisted from Tachi.
They all use the same extension core
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you!
This is a great list. Thanks!
Thanks mate 🏴☠️
Thanks mate
This sucks. Fucking corpo greed, but I understand, no one small group could fight a conglomerate and prolly would have done the same as described. Best of luck to them.
I've setup the original Tachiyomi with the third-party repo so I can add new sources to J2K for now. Screw Caca-o entertainment.
That said, I've never heard of manwa before. I'm torn between deliberately pirating their work just to spite them, and not ever wanting to do anything with any of their works in any capacity, ever. I want the most efficient way possible to make them cry so I can drink their salty tears
Awesome! Thank you!
I am still using it for webtoons. How affected am I? Is this affecting only extenstions with manga?
Lol no, this is everything, but the one who did it was a webtoon company, Kakao, you are the problem :P
Thanks for the info.
The app and extensions will continue to work but won't be update, if something breaks won't be fixed.
Oh, ok, thanks for the summary
Worth mentioning: Anyone using TachiyomiJ2K (I use it for Surface Duo dual-screen support) or another fork with support who has some self-hosting prowess, there's always Suwayomi - It will let you "migrate" to a third-party sources repo even if your app doesn't support it, since it becomes your device's only local extension.
