Tachiyomi forks

Extensions:
Follow instructions for your fork
https://keiyoushi.github.io/extensions/

Note: Reinstall all previous extensions, otherwise update won't be possible.

How to migrate from Tachiyomi to a fork:

  • On Tachiyomi: Settings -> Data and Storage -> Create Backup
  • On the fork: same steps, select "Restore backup"

Standalone apps

PS: I'll update the list if find more.

Also saw it. Hope the maintainer is not overdoing it and getting burnt out.

Hrm... Ya know, you'd think the extensions would move off of GitHub after everything...

[–] American_Jesus@lemm.ee 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably, GitHub isn't a good place for this type of projects. youtube-dl, CloudStream both got nuked in the past with DMCA

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Gitlab/gitea might be better. GH is getting more and more DMCAed.

[–] Croc@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Im not git savvy, so:

  1. will there be any difficulties moving to another Repo website? 1a: if the difficulty is easy-intermediate, why aren't the developers making the move off github?
[–] orangeboats@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's harder for other devs to discover your project when you use the other Git forges (e.g. Gitlab).

[–] Ganbat@lemmyonline.com 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Arguably a positive in cases like this.

[–] orangeboats@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Probably not wrong. But it's a double edged sword, if Tachiyomi wasn't hosted on Github it's likely that it wouldn't have gotten this far.

[–] Lemmyvisitor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Kazumara@feddit.de 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Tachiyomi used to have that, but nowadays it only asks for access to one folder and does all its business in there.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

They must have been many years ago because I've been on there since before covid and I don't remember that

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Was recommended Dantotsu

Relies on an anilist account, and can be used for both anime and manga.

[–] pfaca@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

Don't think so

[–] ReluctantZen@feddit.nl 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] American_Jesus@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Tanks, i don't really read anime, only comics and didn't test that. I'll add it later.

[–] gunpachi@lemmings.world 8 points 9 months ago

I'm trying to decide between Dantotsu , mangayomi and kotatsu right now.

[–] Jenoki@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] greywolf0x1@lemmy.ml 14 points 9 months ago

https://tachiyomi.org/news/2024-01-13-goodbye

TLDR: a stupid Korean company sent a cease and desist to the Tachiyomi devs, they caved in and are ending the project

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] JustARaccoon@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They all use the same extension core

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

Awesome, thank you!

[–] 0range0281@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 months ago

This is a great list. Thanks!

[–] RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

Thanks mate 🏴‍☠️

[–] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Thanks mate

[–] kosanovskiy@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] Dreadfighter23@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Awesome! Thank you!

[–] TheChargedCreeper864@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

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

[–] Madeyro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I am still using it for webtoons. How affected am I? Is this affecting only extenstions with manga?

[–] American_Jesus@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The app and extensions will continue to work but won't be update, if something breaks won't be fixed.

[–] Madeyro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

Oh, ok, thanks for the summary

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Lol no, this is everything, but the one who did it was a webtoon company, Kakao, you are the problem :P

[–] Madeyro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

Thanks for the info.

[–] Hexarei@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

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.
