From Comick discord (https://discord.com/channels/860696481837350912):

With the Death of Bato and likely more shit dying our friends @le and former Staff member Symedia Has made detailed instructions on what you should do for alternatives or if you dont feel like doing all of that he linked a website The best method is to use a dedicated reader app on your phone, like Mihon (a community-developed successor to Tachiyomi) for Android. These apps act as a central library, pulling manga from various online sources into a single, clean, ad-free interface. This is a far superior experience. Tachimanga for ios How to use mihon/tachimanga Because websites constantly change, your best bet is not to rely on any single one. Instead, use these community-curated wikis and indexes to find currently active and reliable sources to use within an app like Mihon.

So tired of needing Discord to see news and announcements about things.

[–] warm@kbin.earth 61 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yup. I'm not joining Discord servers to see announcements or for support. I avoid projects or products exclusively relying on it.

I was sourcing between mangadex, weebcentral, comick, and batoto for most things with the odd entry from translator sites and I'm still not done migrating comick entries from my library. Weeb seems to have rips from official translations so I'm not counting on it sticking around if it doesn't become like md and have a bunch of empty series. I might have to look into self download and hosting like I have for movies and music.

what is this discord server being removed? am i still able to enter it?

in case anyone wants to attempt backup, https://github.com/slatinsky/DiscordChatExporter-incrementalBackup this works very well

It’s gone already. I was in the discord server. But never looked into it, just wanted to be in there just in case. After seeing this post I opened discord and it’s not there anymore? Just gone.
