Comment on Manga General Discussion Thread - RIP MangaDex Edition [2025, Week 21]
creamlike504@jlai.lu 1 week agoIs that how it works? I thought content is only hosted on the original server, and each instance only shows a temporary copy at best.
If every instance is duplicating the content of every other instance, wouldn’t they crumble under the hosting costs in… hours?

That is not how it works; it is what I would like.
And for a niche like exclusively hosting several dozen pages of translated comics at a time, every instance duplicating the whole database would not take that much space. Even if it’s only a cache - one terabyte would go a looong way. Certainly long enough for anything popular to be recognized as missing and manually rehosted.
