F Tachiyomi is probably the best, most full-featured manga reader on mobile or desktop. The code is also clean and easy to maintain, a feat that I can only credit to the amazing developers leading the project. This will definitely not be the death of Tachiyomi though. There were periods of time where upstream was on hiatus and development soldiered on in community forks (see https://tachiyomi.org/forks/ https://tachiyomi.org/forks/). At some point I even maintained a fork myself that gained some momentum (eventually had to give up due to time constraints). Anyways, many of these forks are still well-maintained to this day so I'm sure users will always have somewhere to go. Tachiyomi is dead, long live Tachiyomi!

Chiming in with my favourite "fork" (it's a compatible reimplementation rather than a fork) here: https://github.com/Suwayomi/Suwayomi-Server https://github.com/Suwayomi/Suwayomi-Server It's a server version of Tachiyomi. It supports all the same extensions as the actual app, but allows me to access it from anywhere since it runs on my homelab. And with https://github.com/Suwayomi/Tachidesk-Sorayomi https://github.com/Suwayomi/Tachidesk-Sorayomi I even get iOS support. Awesome project and highly recommend it.

  How does Suwayomi compare to komga? Now realizing there are a few players in the space
  - russelg 3y ago
    I haven't tried komga, but the main draw of Suwayomi is that it supports Tachiyomi extensions, so in theory supports every site that Tachiyomi did.

    I couldn't get Suwayomi to work properly on my homelab without a desktop install. I found Komga easier to use with local files (Suwayomi is great for accessing online sources). Kavita trumps them both in this regard, though it has a few problems with automatic identification. Files have to be rigorously organized. Mango is not as fully featured as them.

  Nice, I'll be trying this. I recently bought a 1L mini PC for home-server usage. It was very cheap and came with an 8th gen intel, only problem is no space for a 3.5 inside but I'll just connect through USB 3.1 on one of those caddys. It's more than enough for home usage. Running starr apps and jellyfin no problem.

Other alternatives Mangayomi Kotatsu (quite good) Suwayomi (more setup required)
