Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Fresh install, it works! Extensions are required to be "trusted" but other than that everything seems to be in the same place.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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)

If you don't already have one, use Kavita instead. It's newer, has surpassed the Komga interface, and is still supported on T.

thanks, we have 2 active alt repo so far. the third backup repo is most welcome

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.

yeah, the main repo on Github have been deleted. we have to rely on external sources.

all tachyomi derivatives that use that central repo will be affected

it will be better if you start moving to third party repo because those old extensions will be unmaintained by tachiyomi dev
