Holy shit, this is actually a pretty bad list. A lot of classics and actually good modern manga here. Unfortunate - mangadex was great while it lasted. Pirate sites are hydra, if course, but mangadex was actually usable unlike a lit of other sites.

I'm at the point where I want to self host everything. Is there anything like Jellyfin for Manga?

[-] BlueRingedOctopus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 days ago

Yes there is. They're called Kavita and Komga. If you wanna host Doujins then there is Lanraragi, it has a better tagging system then both of them but struggles with chapter merging and all.

Kavita is the preferred one nowadays.

Yes, Jellyfin. At least that’s what I use. I would be interested in hearing what other people use. Jellyfin is far from perfect with manga.

Wait we can put manga on the Jelly? I need to look into this.

EDIT: Maybe you can.

[-] BlueRingedOctopus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Yes you can but the experience is not that good.

If you use android there is a specific app someone made for reading books from Jellyfin https://github.com/JellyBookOrg/JellyBook

Not saying that one's great, but it is something and maybe you haven't tested it yet.

I believe the documentation has a section for it. It can be a bit slow to open a large volume but once it’s open it works well. I just wish that they would open faster and that Jellyfin would get some QOL features around books/comics/manga.
