Final discussion thread of the year! If you think back to this time last year, most of us probably had never even heard of Lemmy, so it has been an eventful one. Having a smaller, but active community has exposed me to a wider variety of series that I hadn’t checked out before, so I look forward to more in the new year!

As always, this is a general discussion thread. So, feel free to reminisce with me or post about all the new manga you got for the holidays or anything else!

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

    Welcome to the selfhosting journey! I started ~5 years ago with plex and now I am running maybe 30 docker containers over 6 different hosts (3 VPS’s are part of that). I had not heard of Komga before, but after looking it up, I certainly see the appeal. Most of what I read these days is done through Tachiyomi reading things from Mangadex, but the legally downloaded series are always a maze of apps/services to navigate. Bringing all those into a consistent webui is very appealing. I have tried to do the Tachiyomi local content thing before with cbz archives, but never really got it to act consistently and file management on a phone is not the easiest. A while back I had tried setting up Tachidesk to essentially run Tachiyomi as a web service, but it wasn’t really feature complete at the time. I just looked it up again now and it seems to be in a better place, so I might give it another go.

      Thanks! If you have any tips or useful resources, please let me know.

      I use that a lot too, but try to read legally where it’s possible. There’s a Tachiyomi extension for Komga as well!

      Yeah, and with most of them, there’s DRM on them, so you need to remove that before you can actually use that with Komga. Thank goodness for Calibre for that. I tend to buy my digital manga from Kobo. I used to do this on Bookwalker, but you can’t remove that DRM unfortunately.

      Of course you can also put stuff obtained from the seven seas on it.

      Interesting. Might check this out too.
