UPDATE 07/07/2021 UPLOADS ARE WORKING AGAIN!! I REPEAT, NEW CHAPTER UPLOADS ARE BACK AND UPDATES ARE HAPPENING!!! (The UI is still kinda poo poo but hey, at least your fave stories are getting updates again.) UPDATE 06/06/2021 MANGADEX IS BACK!!!!! … kinda… they’re still working on it BUT IT’S USEABLE Blaze Dragon posted:MangaDex is back! In an alpha state, but it's finally back! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2xFnKWSxdQ As most of you already know, MangaDex — aka the website you go to to read all of your fave Jay-pan comic-picture-books for free without having to pay any of your precious monies to the poor overworked creators of said comicbooks so that they might clothe their cold naked bodies and perhaps feed their starving children — went offline late last month after a hacking incident compromised a number of peoples’ accounts there. Now, events like this aren’t exactly uncommon on MD, and normally whenever they happen the codejockeys that keep the site running patch up whatever got broke and MD is back up and running (... well up and running by MD standards, anyway) within a few hours or so. However, this time is different. This time MangaDex decided enough was enough and began a major project to rebuild the entire site from the ground up... better, faster, stronger, (hopefully) more secure than it has ever been before. ... we’ll see how all of that goes for them, but what this means for the rest of us is that MangaDex has been down since March, leaving many/most/all of you unable to catch up on your stories and, most likely, jonesing hard for your regularly-scheduled fix(es). While MD appears to be making some progress toward completing whatever the gently caress they’re working on, they haven’t announced any timeline as to when they expect to go back online, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that that added uncertainty isn’t making this whole long wait any easier. The purposes of this thread are:
MOST RECENT UPDATE FROM MANGADEX — Posted on April 6th, 2021 "MangaDex.org posted:After putting in two and a half weeks of effort towards v5, we have a good sense of where we are in terms of progress towards getting the site back up. Things did not go as smoothly as we dared to hope, but significant progress has still been made. IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW IS GOOD AT COMPUTERS AND/OR KNOWS HOW TO DO WHATEVER THE gently caress THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, PLEASE GO TO THAT DISCORD (I EVEN LINKED IT FOR YOU BECAUSE I AM NICE LIKE THAT) AND VOLUNTEER YOUR SERVICES TO HELP THIS GREAT AND NOBLE CAUSE! ...... HUH? ... WHAT TH-... NO I DON’T MEAN “NOBLE CAUSE” IN THAT GONE WITH THE WIND WAY, WHAT THE gently caress. SERIOUSLY WH-...... WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASK THAT? HOW IS THAT EV- WHAT THE gently caress DOES THAT EVEN HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? JESUS CHRIST.

I mainly use Tachiyomi to read mangos on my tablet, you can make it scrape from various sites, though mangledicks being so monolithic still means stuff comes slower or you have to go looking across a few sources. At least it saves you from awful layouts and ads.

Just a heads-up that MangaNelo is probably the best MangaDex substitute I have found so far. It’s got a bunch of ads and occasionally small popups, and you have to scroll up and down your screen to go from page to page instead of clicking the right or left side like you do on MD, but it has tons and tons of the same titles available on MD, or at least the ones that I follow. Several of the titles I’ve clicked on on there haven’t been updated since February or March though. Whether this is due to scanlators not knowing about MangaNelo’s existence since MD went down, or COVID-related holdups on the production and/or scanlation of certain mangas (or both), I can’t say, but I feel like I should make a note of it. EDIT: I went ahead and stuck this in the OP so it’s more visible I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Apr 29, 2021 |

Readm.org has been the place I've been reading stuff, when I've been reading anyways. not having my bookmarks and such has slowed my reading frequency a good bit. but aside from it being absolutely clogged with manhwa/manhua, it's got most everything mangadex had as well.

Nipponophile posted:I'm glad it's back, but goddamn they have hosed up the front end something fierce. Apparently it's just a hack of the front end from the mobile version of the site, rather than a prototype for the final product. I guess they prioritized being able to access the manga themselves over everything else, which seems fair.

Seems to be up for me. Make sure to Shift + F5 since it might be using an old-rear end cache of the website.

There was something going on with the API servers not being routed properly through certain ISPs like Verizon, not sure if there was a resolution or workaround for it since I'm not affected.

I. M. Gei posted:so you can read mangas, but you can’t post new chapters? I follow the subreddit, and there have been a lot of posts there asking about ways to access their follow list since they couldn't remember the names of all the manga they were following. So that's probably a big part of it too.

Not being able to search by genre sucks. But at least it's back. Also I'm switching to Verizon as isp shortly and now I'm worried it'll disappear again

Who exactly was complaining about the site's "performance and speed" that it needed addressing? Stability was the problem with the ongoing and unmitigated DDoS attacks and routine Wednesday self-DDoS from solo leveling updates, and they can't make any claims about that until the site is feature-complete. Oh and I guess a little thing called security.

Optimization is easy. Security and stability is hard. Might as well flaunt the low hanging fruit if you can’t get the latter.
