I have some idea that the devs got DMCA notice from some company and they are trying to shutdown the forks as well. I also read that some extensions won’t work or need to be added from unofficial sources. So my question is how to get back to the smooth experience as before with trustworthy extensions and forks. If there is already a post or link to it, do guide me to it.

      The project relies on extensions that are installed separately to pull content from different services (mangadex, mangaplus, etc.). The other day, the tachiyomi devs removed almost all the extensions that they were hosting/maintaining after a threat of legal action from a Korean webtoon company. Here is a relevant discussion thread.

        Ah, okay. I thought I was going to pull up the site & see the takedown note or something. I didn’t realize they were able to make some changes & keep it around.

        Technically it’s now supported by 3rd party maintainers while some selfhostet options are 1st party extensions (tachidesk, kotatsu, etc.).

        Not my most favorite solution but better than no external extensions at all.
