Hilariously, I'd never heard of any of this stuff until this company decided to Streisand the fuck out of themselves.
And the best part is that they went after the container instead of the content, so all they did was make their problem even worse...
Thanks OP, an FYI you can restore a Tachiyomi backup from Mihon to migrate straight across 👍

Excellent, have been watching this.
Warning from the release:
Beware of any new fake versions of Mihon or Tachiyomi.
Anyone got any good extension repos? I'm more into western comics than manga
How trustworthy are those extensions? I see they are APKs.
All of tachiyomi extensions are APKs since a long time ago. Previously we just trust it because it's hosted by tachiyomi itself. So you should still worry about the trustworthiness because it's hosted by unrelated person, but shouldn't because it's apk.
Maybe in the future Mihon should implement support for non-apk extensions, but for now we can only use that
There's source code repo for those APK: https://github.com/keiyoushi/extensions-source

Thank you, have made a post this now
Cut off one head of the Hydra and another two grow in its place.
you're gonna wanna get off GitHub fast
Why? Nothing about the previous situation had anything to do with it being on github.
ACDAB - All Corporate Dogs Are Bastards
The extensions seem still untrusted even after reinstalling. Does it need third party extensions??
Edit: will extensions be updated??
Browse> extensions>tap shield>trust
worked for me
I did that but what i meant is that when will it stop or when will it restore back to not sending errors anymore...
Yes, it needs third party extensions.
What's the difference then?
Is it the same software, a rebrand, a publishing team change?
It's a fork.
Lawyers went after Tachi Devs, Devs abandon Tachi, new Devs forked Tachi and made Mihon.
It's a fork, done by a previous Tachiyomi developer and maybe a TachiyomiSY developer too. So it's partly a publishing team change, as the main developers are different.
Since Mihon is exactly the same as Tachiyomi, besides changed branding and requiring Android 8+, it's also a rebrand.
Edit: It's also functionally exactly the same software.
That's fast, I just looked at the GitHub repo this morning and didn't see anything there
I thought this was supposed to be here: https://git.mihon.dev/mihon, without github
Probably mirror.
Maintainer is the same.
Tachij2kfriends, I saw the mihon dev post somewhere that tachij2k shouldn't be used anymore. Is there a reason for that? Everything is still working on my end, and until it doesn't I intend to just keep using tachij2k unless there's a good reason not to. I also read somewhere that the Dev for j2k said he was gonna make some changes, but I wasn't able to verify that... Anyone know anything more? Thanks
The reason the Mihon de said that is because j2k is using an older tachiyomi base iirc. Updates on it have been on the slower side.
It's still being actively worked though (as far as I know) and it still works fine, so there's no reason to switch off of it for now. If Jay does drop it then you should move onto mihon or its forks (TachiyomoSY and TachiyomiAZ will be based off of mihon in future versions).
If it works on your end, no reason to stop using it. The reason they suggested to move elsewhere is because, at the time, there was no indication that j2k had any plans for continued development. Might've changed since they put that out, but that's what they sajd
~~If anyone's wondering why Mihon looks slightly different than Tachiyomi, the reason is this is a fork of TachiyomiSY, which has some changes/features over Tachiyomi (e.g. a predicted next chapter release date).~~
What I wrote is all wrong. I've just looked through the commit history and Mihon is a fork of Tachiyomi and currently it doesn't have any changes besides branding and being Android 8+.
I don't know why I believed otherwise, but it might be F-Droids 3 months old Tachiyomi build, which lacked many features compared to up-to-date TachiyomiSY.
Sorry, I'm super tech/software illiterate, can someone explain how to transfer what I had on tachiyomi over tonthis new app?
Rn it's just reskinned tachiyomi so export backup > import backup in mihon
It's simple. Go to Tachiyomi and create a backup. Then, in Mihon, during the first setup, it should give an option to restore backup. You can also resotre backup in Mihon settings, then go to extensions and (trust) the restored extensions.
It's pretty much the same app at its core. So no need to change file names or formats. Everything should transfer.
Anyone know why the change? I'm aware that they were being targeted but I thought removing the extensions had appeased the kcorp.
The devs just said fuckit afterwards, as you do when you get a lawsuit saying your about to be so far in debt because of your side project that your whole life will be turned up side down.
I would have done the same.
Kakao (or whatever they're called) were going after everyone involved, so Tachiyomi has been deprecated, one of the devs forked it and will continue development.
Mihon is from the tachiyomiSY devs, ~ick~ I don't know if they are the same but from a glance they are different.
A long time Tachiyomi developer made the commits making branding changes to Mihon, so they might work together. But as they didn't fork TachiyomiSY, its dev might continue work on it too.

official tachiyomi is dead
How is this different from TachiyomiSY?
Edit: SY will continue by forking Mihon
As far as we know, TachiyomiSY has the same relationship with Mihon as it did with Tachiyomi previously. Maybe it'll change since SY's dev is also said to work on Mihon, but we'll see.
At the moment Mihon is the same as Tachiyomi with changed branding.
