List of affected manga from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/mangadex/comments/1kmzg9q/list_of_manga_affected_by_the_dmca_takedown_to/
Mangadex will release an official list soon (?).
Holy shit, this is actually a pretty bad list. A lot of classics and actually good modern manga here. Unfortunate - mangadex was great while it lasted. Pirate sites are hydra, if course, but mangadex was actually usable unlike a lit of other sites.
I'm at the point where I want to self host everything. Is there anything like Jellyfin for Manga?
Yes there is. They're called Kavita and Komga. If you wanna host Doujins then there is Lanraragi, it has a better tagging system then both of them but struggles with chapter merging and all.
Kavita is the preferred one nowadays.
Yes, Jellyfin. At least that’s what I use. I would be interested in hearing what other people use. Jellyfin is far from perfect with manga.
Wait we can put manga on the Jelly? I need to look into this.
EDIT: Maybe you can.
Yes you can but the experience is not that good.
If you use android there is a specific app someone made for reading books from Jellyfin https://github.com/JellyBookOrg/JellyBook
Not saying that one's great, but it is something and maybe you haven't tested it yet.
I believe the documentation has a section for it. It can be a bit slow to open a large volume but once it’s open it works well. I just wish that they would open faster and that Jellyfin would get some QOL features around books/comics/manga.
