Batoto extension isn’t working anymore 😭 while mangadex extension is fine
What a shitshow to wake up to… Fuck Kakao Entertainment, may they kill themselves.
Replacements: Mangadeamon, Mangasushi, flamescans, Mangabuddy, Mangakakalot… Diversify your library while the dex extension still works. Some scans on those btw get updates before Dex does.
Edit: this company was registered in 2021… They definitely don’t have a case as mangadex has been there longer than this and same with the extension. Fuck those greedy bastards, if you know someone using anything from them, give that person a educational slap.
They purged the entire extension list, the limpdick cowards. Time to jump ship, so long and thanks for all the fish!
You can use this https://github.com/keiyoushi/tachiyomi-extensions
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
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
If the Tachiyomi devs don’t reverse this somehow (which seems unlikely given what I’ve read about past cases of this, custom repo it is I guess) they probably just killed the app. Ubless you are aware of how to get Mangadex and bato back Tachiyomi is now a worse option than even just using your browser again for most people.
Seems like the devs even folded like wet noodles wgen they had (to my knowledge) risk free options of at least attempting to prevent this, such as demanding the dmca to be filed with GitHub (saved youtube-dl for example since their repo got reinstated after Google withdrew their claim)
This sort of non-reaction is just asking for the wolves to tear the project apart, after this any copyright holder with no leg to stand on will file claims agaonst Tachiyomi for whatever sources remain. Because why shouldn’t they? It’s a 100% success rate and they don’t even risk anything (illegally) abusing DMCA with people like this at the helm of the project.
