Can I post about Mihon here ? What are the best manga sources ?
I mostly use Mangadex, but also bato.to, Manga Plus and some group specific sources.

Not sure tbh.
What are the best manga sources ?
Currently the primary source that I find the most trustworthy is Mangadex as they provide author/creator links to purchase their content.

I’m using TachiJ2K with these “sources”:
I despise how diasporic everything is, instead of the Darknet P2P I was promised.
Can’t believe how many of you are extremely behind.

What do you mean by that?

The last two replies before me, recommended a website that had been throughfully compromised, twice.
Centralization is exactly what leads to these issues. Being on Lemmy, one would think there would be more mirrors of sources on TOR, I2P, SimpleX, GNUNet, etc… A friend of mine even showed me an onion group that strictly publishes scanlateds on webp format. I’m still financially ruined to remake mangadouga format.

imo the best source is a locally hosted komga server. Download/purchase manga for hi res copies from places like AB/nyaa/baka/etc, rip scanlations with something like hakuneko or fmd2. Place in a folder, install komga+komf, point it at said folder. Komga scans in manga, komf scrapes metadata from manga updates or MAL. Use the Komga plugin in mihon and your progress is tracked both ways.
Much higher res most of the time, better translations, faster, more reliable, no ads, no tracking, no downtime unless your shit breaks, consistent across devices, and if you get tired of your library you can still just jump to the mangadex plugin or whatever I guess

Sure!
As for sources, almost my entire library is Mangadex with just a few exceptions. I have a couple Manga Plus series that I follow, one VIZ series, and then the odd scanlator group here or there that posts things to their page way before Mangadex and have an extension.
But seriously though, I just ran the numbers and I am at ~95% Mangadex.
