All are welcome to ask any questions or issues relating to Pixiv, the many Boorus, and Kemono Archive in this thread.
Could the people running Kemono please ban the AI slop, I'm tired of looking at it flood all the search results
Somewhat related but why is saucenao so bad recently?
>>8844225Tell what I should know about each site. I frequent pixiv daily and go to Kemono.party when I want to check something on fanbox.
>>8844550websites keep blocking scrapersI think Pixiv has had saucenao blocked for 2 years now
>>8844517I like what r34 did. Just have a filter right under the search bar for filtering out all the AI slop.
>>8844550Around the times Epsteins info was leaked, Youtube/Google search became worse, then later they decided no reverse search engine will work anymore that even Yandex was better at some point.
No more new Rinhee stuff uploaded anymore?
>>8844517The admin's abandoned ship months ago, anon. They aren't doin shit.The sites on it's last legs, half of patreon can no longer be scraped because creators swapped to the new layout which Kemono can't read, the ones that haven't switched over no longer have text scraped when their stuff is imported which means links to fileshares no longer show up, and this week it seems fanbox updated their security because nothings been scraped from their site since the 11th.
>>8845660So...time to wait for a new site then
>>8845752because that will magically not get blocked by fanbox and patreon, right
I have nooticed that pixiv changed their image filenames, from the post number + _0 or 1 or 2, to also having a bunch of numbers and letters in it nowuse case?
>>8845774Nothing changes?
>>8845908very weird, it's back to the usual nowI had a few filenames be something like: 1234567_1892u49817y49179241284f8123_p1the stuff between both underscores was new, maybe it was either temporary or a browser glitch
>>8845912I saw it too for a while, there may be some A-B testing going on. It may be a content hash, because artists can reupload images (e.g. when flagged for insufficient censor), and they'd still have the same URL. With the content hash, different images would have distinct URLs.
>>8845199>Hire pajeets>Pajeets do nothing but to hire other pajeets>Reach a critical mass ang get a pajeet CEO>Fire non pajeets employees to make more room for the pajeets>Nothing work anymore and the company sink>The pajeets are now applying for whichever company still existAt this point, all the gafam are in an abbandon ship situation.
>>8845660It's quickly becoming nothing but a discord scraping site, which is hilarious, because folks on older browsers can't even view the content (all you get is errors), and discord itself is trying to sink it's own userbase with the identification crap.
>>8845769"Blocks" will always have workarounds unless you do some insane literal DRMgallery-dl scrapes Fanbox and Patreon just fine. It breaks every now and then as sites make changes, but because the project is active and open source, they get fixed quickly. Kemono's problem is that it is both inactive and effectively closed source.Sadly, most people are either too lazy or too retarded to use gallery-dl and upload themselves.
Will there be sites like E-Hentai, ExHentai, Hitomi, Gelbooru, and Danbooru on Tor/I2P/Hyphanet/Zeronet/Lokinet/GNUnet and et cetera? I assume there are, at least mirrors, or whatnot. Hiddenbooru? But yeah, just need a backup plan in case Big Tech faggots kill the clearnet.
>>8845774I'm getting the same thing too, actually.
>>8846176the vast majority of everyone are consumerssomething like gallery-dl requires the user to be a subscripber/paid access to any services of note to actually pull down that contentsure you can scrape everything available from whatever service you sign up for but you still have the initial outlay of money, and that can get weird and sned up unwanted flags when you're talking about international currency transfers/exchanges or purchases
>>8846103I love how obvious this is yet a certain group of bleeding hearts deny it does
>>8846372E-hentai has been on tor for over a decade. Please look at all the links on the front page of e-hentai.
Did they remove loli tag on gelbooru?
>>8847552Settings -> Options -> Display all site content
>>8844517>people running KemonoIt's literally one zigger who gets butthurt easily.
>>8845660All of this wrong and you're a Redditor to no one's surprise. You need to commit suicide instead of suffering. >>8844517Only one person controls Kemono and he can't program. Initially, he said he didn't want to ban LLM slop because he's lazy. Then he said it'd discourage people from importing. Then he realized LLM slop increased ad revenue. Fun fact, the last time the Kemono owner was last seen was last year in September or something. A month after that, the Patreon importer broke because Patreon changed the layout of the Patreon post and it hasn't been changed since then. Retards will say the Patreon importer broke down recently because they're too retarded to understand that creators had to opt in for the new layout and Patreon made it default recently.
So where are Chinks getting DLsite/DMM/Fanza/Fantia/Fanbox/Patreon from?Most of them on Exhentai are getting the files from other scrapers.
>>8846372Hello, newfag. You seem confused >E-Hentai, ExHentaiSame site. Same server. Same owner. Same everything. >HitomiDownscale mirror for Exhentai.>Gelbooru, and DanbooruMirror for Xitter and Pixiv. They fuck with the files for some reason.
>>8847665How do you know if you don't even know where they're scraping from?
>>8847663>lazily fails to discredit facts and throw shade>immediately goes on to state the exact same facts presented, and use actual reddit spacingCongrats, here's your (You), shitskin.
What the hell is going on with Kemono?
>Kemono dead>Subscribestar now banning loli and furfaggotry>Deviantart now limiting non-paid users to 10 downloads
There's a new scraper site anyone know it? and kemono is officially dead.
>>8847983>>8848065Kemono ain't dead.
>>8848070that's called cope
>>8848079Okay. How’s it “officially dead?” What changed?
>>8847854>insecure newfag rerarded enough to get programmed by troons to think reddit invented paragraphs>calls everyone brownpinoy spotted.
>>8847831>they deny it>one of them claims to be the only Kemono importer>they can't prove it>until recently, they'd only upload after Kemono imported it>no one spends over 500 USD in one month to download a few posts >one of them mentions something about nekomoe, an euphemism for their new source >you are a fucking retard
>>8847983Deviantart always had a ridiculous download limit. >>8847970Dead. The admin doesn't give a shit. He'll shut the site off when ad revenue no longer covers the site bills.He's more incompetent than the pony fucker who owns ExHentai.
>>8844225>upload highres anime screenshot to gelbooru >few days later it gets removed >"ToS violation - anime screenshot" >search "anime_screenshot" tag >45K resultsWhat's wrong with screenshots?
>>8848219They're probably using ExHentai's pony fucker logic.>we no longer allow it>but that doesn't mean we'll stop being lazy to remove the older posts
We're gonna need a new Kemono at this rate.
>>8848219You can't upload simple screenshots. Animated gifs/webms or stitched shots are allowed.
>>8848204>Deviantart always had a ridiculous download limit.There wasn'tI was able to scrape DA with both gallery-dl and WFDownloader, ever since that stupid update both programs conk out and shit errors after 10 imagesNot all DA render autists/screenshotters allow manual downloads and some only insist on using DA's download button
>>8844517I use kemono exclusively for AI slop.It's getting to the point that most of my exhentai use is for AI slop, too.You can complain that it's made by AI and that it's soulless and yadda yadda yadda but at the end of the day, it's the only way I'm getting hundreds of new images from shows that have been forgotten, in art styles that I like.
Anyone know why the fuck I can't just click-drag to save images on Gelbooru anymore? Are they messing with the files now to not give me the full image?
>>8845912I thought that was my Gallery-DL having a stroke, but sounds like you're not even using that.Either way it's clearly a hash of some kind, consisting only of letters a-f or whatever.Though it does not appear to be MD5, CRC-32 or SHA1-512
Are there any sites which scrape Unifans?
>>8846103you're obsessed with indians because they own you bitch ass motherfucker
>>8844517AI slop is better than all the fucking writing-only uploadsCan't search any keyword without getting pages of slop novels because the word I looked up shows up a single time 590 words in
>>8847983>Subscribestar now banning loli Didn't they go back on that?
Some Patreon on Kemono miss there context, just the picture. What happen?
>>8844678That is just bullshit, I scrape Pixiv all the time. I don't know what tool Saucenao uses to scrape, but if Pixiv had blocked scrapers, they would have blocked my severely outdated version of Gallery-DL>>8844550Data increases at an absurd rate, and now that AI is a thing, it's a million times worse. But Saucenao most likely hasn't increased their processing capabilities to match it.It takes quite a bit of processing power to process an image in order to be able to reverse search it, and then consider that they cover not just Pixiv, but basically everything.If anyone wanted to make something that was 100x better for Pixiv where basically everything gets a result, even new stuff, it's not actually that hard to do, as long as you only focus on that and maybe one or two other sites.The only downside is Pixiv is slow as fuck so it takes a lot of time if you're starting out or haven't downloaded in ages.But this also depends on what you're searching. Are you searching with the full image? No problemSearching with a cropped version? Well now they have to calculate a bunch of shit and store that which is 100x more computationally intensive, and AFAIK, Saucenao has never been good for cropped images so they probably didn't build with that in mind.
>>8844225Anyone else been unable to access kemono without using a VPN? When I don't use one I get pic related.
>>8849911Did you remember to go on kemono.cr rather than kemono.su? Try using google DNS incase your ISP is retarded
>>8844225newer stuff has been too dang slow desu
>>8844225the only problem i got with pixiv is that there is no way to pay privately on there. For fantia i can use Monero -> japanese gift card -> pay for Tora coins (internal currency) -> spend tora coins.But Pixiv and pixivFanbox are quite restricted in their accepted payments. Haven't figured out a solid way to detach KYC. all guaranteed methods require either Japanese bank cards, phone number, physically be there (for convenience store cards) etc.
I shamelessly use pixiv to browse for AI art of my favorite characters
>>8844225Any idea why Gelbooru's URLs don't work. It's not even just 4chan. I can't use them anywhere I've tried.
>>8850128Maybe explain what the fuck you mean by "don't work". Can't use anywhere? URLs you put in your browser, not many places to try them, wtf does it have to do with 4chan?And Gelbooru's URLs? You mean the SITE isn't working? Fix your brain damage then ask the question again.
>>8850132Normally you can upload a file (png, jpg, gif) etc here directly from a site by posting the URL of a file, instead of selecting a file from your PC. This doesn't work with Gelbooru anymore. I tried other chans, like Capybarachan and this also doesn't work there anymore. I also can no longer use the URL to upload on ezgif.com and it will not even show an error. It will like I never uploaded anything in the first place.
>>8850001>But Pixiv and pixivFanbox are quite restricted in their accepted payments.That's a shame. I was thinking of giving in and paying to see Tadd's new pages because I'm that desperate. I guess I've to go back hoping for kemono to get fixed
Are there any sites that aren't run by complete fucking retards? I can't make an account on gelbooru (registration is closed), danbooru uploads rely entirely on a group of pedantic fucking morons, rule34.xxx is also run by a group of mongoloids with no objective standards or rule enforcement. Meanwhile AI slop is infesting everything. What's the fucking solution here if you want to upload art?
>>8850145that's not a function of 4chan, must be one of your extensions and that's what's broken
>>8850373It appears that running a website either requires being a retard or the experience of doing so turns you into one
>>8849924>Did you remember to go on kemono.cryes>Try using google DNSTried that before, didn't work
>>8850430>that's not a function of 4chanI just posted a pic from another thread in /h/ using said pic's URL.
>>8850430>>8850651Also it's unlikely to be an extension problem. I didn't add, remove, or change the settings of any around the time the problem started happening, I tried without them and nothing changed and this only for Gelbooru files.
>>8850651>>88506534chan literally does not embed URLs by default. If it does on your end, it's because you have something like 4ChanX installed.So if something broke, it's an extension issue.>I didn't add, remove, or change the settings of any around the time the problem started happeningDoesn't matter, shit breaks all the time whether you like it or not. Either from extension updating or 4chan changing something that requires extension to update.>>8850522Try again then, maybe you didn't set up DNS correctly. Or if your browser has it, use the built in free VPN if you're just doing light browsing on kemono, otherwise buy a VPS and set up a VPN on it for super cheap.
Well, it's now been 2 (3 for some) days since the last patreon scrape, think it's safe to say Kemono is officially just a discord site now...
>>8850660> it's because you have something like 4ChanX installed.I don’t.>>I didn't add, remove, or change the settings of any around the time the problem started happening>Doesn't matter, shit breaks all the time whether you like it or not. Either from extension updating or 4chan changing something that requires extension to update.…Read the rest of my previous reply.
>>8847983Atleast you can still download shit from kemono. Coomer is beyond dead, the vast majority of the files are can't even be streamed, let alone downloaded.
>>88507094Chan literally does not allow you to upload by URL. If you were able to, it's due to an extension like 4ChanX. Vanilla 4chan experience only has an upload button that allows you to put an actual FILE that's on your clipboard or a FILE stored on your PC. Not an URL.So yes, it IS because of an extension you have, which is now broken for Gelbooru.
>>8850823>If you were able to, it's due to an extension like 4ChanX.Well, I am able to and I don't use 4ChanX or anything like that.>Vanilla 4chan experience only has an upload button that allows you to put an actual FILE that's on your clipboard or a FILE stored on your PC.>Not an URL.Anon, it is through the upload button that I do it. if you click the upload button and instead of choosing a file from your PC you paste the URL of an appropriate online file, as if it’s a file name , you can post it, without the need of any extention. It is that simple.
>>8850890Then that's a function of your browser or your OS that download the file before re-uploading it to 4chan, and they are misbehaving. Because the 4chan form just does not accept a URL, only actual file data.
>>8850890You are so retarded holy shit lmao
>>8847552speaking ofis gelbooru the only site where i can find straight shota 3D videos?
Yesterday I ate pork.
There is a way to download from Pixiv in bulk?(aside from PixivUtil2, which doesn't work for me)
What a dog shit thread.Boorus, Pixiv and Kemono are three different sites.
>>8851198Use Gallery-DL, it's the only tool you need. I switched to that from PixivUtil2 a long ass time ago after getting tired of it constantly breaking, plus Gallery-DL works for MANY other sites too, so it's a very good multitool.It's just a bit retarded to set up if you want it to keep the same naming scheme as PixivUtil2.For Pixiv I have this in my gallery-dl.conf file "pixiv": { "metadata": true, "filename": "{filename} - {title}.{extension}", "directory": ["Downloads", "{user[name]} ({user[id]})"], "postprocessors": [ { "name": "metadata", "mode": "json", "base-directory": "Pixiv Metadata", "directory": ["{user[name]} ({user[id]})"], "filename": "{filename} - {title}.json" } ] }Though I have it also download metadata into a separate folder as you see.As for downloading the actual artists, I put a bunch of IDs into a "List.txt" and run a python script in the same folder as that like this:import subprocessdef run_gallery_dl(command): try: subprocess.run(command, check=True) except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e: print(f"An error occurred: {e}")def main(): input_file = "List.txt" try: with open(input_file, "r", encoding="utf-8") as file: user_ids = [line.strip() for line in file if line.strip().isdigit()] except FileNotFoundError: print(f"File '{input_file}' not found.") return for user_id in user_ids: url = f"https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/{user_id}" print(f"Processing: {url}") command = [ "gallery-dl.exe", "-d", ".", "--cookies", "cookies.txt", "--download-archive", "PixivArchive.sqlite3", url ] run_gallery_dl(command)if __name__ == "__main__": main()
>>8851198>>8851395Just remember to extract cookies with something like "Get cookies.txt (locally)" and put it in same folder as the script and name it "cookies.txt"With that code it also creates an sqlite3 database, which makes it so it (hopefully) doesn't re-download something you've already downloaded, even if you for some reason rename or move the files.I mainly use that script for the initial pull, if you want to pull once then later update your archive, just add into the commands "--abort", "3" so that if it finds the last 3 posts is something you already have, it skips the artist in the list.You can use the script to download artworks too, just change the base URL of https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/ to https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/I have scraped 20k or so artists this way and it works great.Also if you ever run short on storage from scraping too much, consider using JXL in lossless mode to save roughly 50%, which you can use to archive twice as many artists.Damn, 4chan really fucked up the spacing on the config file and the script...Here's catbox with a sample gallery-dl config: https://files.catbox.moe/lildsp.txtAnd here's the script: https://files.catbox.moe/es4mv8.py
>>8844225Pixiv wont load for me in Arizona unless I use a foreign VPN
>>8844225It's been almost 6 years. Will the Booru Project just remain closed for the rest of my lifetime?.
>>8851622Yes.
Are there any alternatives to pay for r18 fanbox for westoids now? Card finally got blocked and pixivcoban doesn't seem to work either.
>>8851999Does Paypal work on your end?
>>8852069Might work for non r-18 stuff but for r-18 it doesn't give me the option
>>8844225i am not downloading much several pics originals each few months, is there a way for Ex to not block my downloads?
>>8852433don't use a cheap VPN that others are using to rape exor donate for a gold star
https://official.fanbox.cc/posts/11647130News
>>8852590thanks
>>8852591>As of March 30, 2026, we have confirmed that the unauthorized reproduction of content by the site in question has subsided.HOLY SHIT, did they just killed Kemono? I can't access it right now.
>>8852782site is still there but it hasn't updated any fanboxes in weeks
>>8852591Kemono's owner is a retard. There is no delay between each http request or file download. Multiple sessions are connected from the same IP address and user agent. So yeah, it's not hard for Fanbox to detect an account sharer.
>>8852591Good to see leeches get fucked. Get rekt.
>>8852799I'm sure you didn't use Kemono, Moshe.
>>8844721It helps, except that some people are uploading their own slop without tagging it, forcing other people to tag it for them to keep it out of the filtered content.
>>8848729I don't (just) hate AI slop because it's soulless garbage. I hate it because I know what good art looks like, and AI isn't doing it. I look at it and see all of the weirdly inhuman mistakes instantly now, because I've seen them so much. My standards are too high to put up with fucked up eyes, hair, fingers, lighting, etc. Honestly, your standards should be at least a little higher than they are.
>>8852591No wonder there's no update for weeks
>>8849656SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
I think I waited to long to re-backup by Kemono favs. 500 errors fucking everywhere.
>>8852949Okay but how do you deal with the overabundance of completely garbage human-drawn art?>eyes too close together>weird, poorly traced "real life" quality>asymmetrical nipples>wide girl is wide on the cover but not in the actual story (inconsistent body type)The double standard about your stance is what pisses me off. You've tolerated shit art for 20 years but now that a machine can spit it out quickly, you look for and home in on reasons to get irrationally upset about it.
>>8852808Cool it with the anti-semitic remarks.
>>8853071>>8853073and here comes the jew aka the poltard to shit up the thread with its schizo babble and self projections
>>8853066You're only assuming that I tolerate shit that humans draw too. I don't particularly. But here's the rub: even relatively lower quality human-made art tends to not have bleeding pupils, extra fingers, melting anatomy, and lack of pattern symmetry. Just bad execution. So the floor of tolerable art made by actual people is far more forgiving; it can look "worse" than AI art at the shortest glance, but still have less flaws when you stop to actually consider its qualities.
Is it just me or do most of the older links/images from early 2025 and older tend to not load? I always get stuck at best halfway into a download.
>>8853099I'm not assuming that, but you certainly didn't cry about the entire medium of hentai over bad anatomy until AI became popular. Look at this image. The thumbs, the nipples, the midriff... it's full of "anatomical issues" that, if it were AI, you would flip out over. The only reason you give it any grace at all is because it's older than AI - it's just "bad execution" instead of "an abomination and offense to all of art." You emphasize the good qualities of shitty human-made art while emphasizing the negative qualities of good AI-genned art. It's completely nonsensical.
Why is it always a Redditor defending AI slop and spam from Chinks who game the point system?
>>8852949>AI isn't doing itBlame the retarded user behind it, not the tool.What you're replying to is an image made by a slopper that spits out image after image non-stop to earn money from blind retards.And like the other guy said, there's PLENTY of non AI art that looks like shit.You're hating AI because it's the new cool thing to do.Wake up and realize it's literally a TOOL. All it does is speed up the process significantly. If people had no understanding of human anatomy or how to use tools properly, they will spam out garbage.Take someone who at least looks at their gen for more than 1 second and you'll see a massive jump in quality.Like with non AI art, simply filter out the trash and you're good to go.>>8853099>But here's the rub: even relatively lower quality human-made art tends to not have bleeding pupils, extra fingers, melting anatomy, and lack of pattern symmetryThat would have worked, a year or two ago lol.If you get those things with AI now, you're using a dogshit model like Pony, SDXL, SD1.5 or others.Illustrious for example, if used properly, this is almost never the case.If someone posts that shit in 2026, it's because of their own fault.>human-made art tends to not haveIt does, if you're a shitty artist or a toddler, just like using an outdated AI model.Stop watching your local indian on twitter and think that's what AI is like just because they spam 100k images in a year.>>8853258Why is it always the retarded who hate on AI with no valid reason? Oh wait right, they're retarded, they can't use critical thinking lmao>>8853109Based poster who doesn't have room temp IQ
>>8853109NTA but QUALITY is its own thing and was mocked at the time as well.
>>8853316Exactly my point, actually. Imagine if saying "all of anime is stupid and horseshit and fuckass quality" because of Gundam's disregard for robotic anatomy. Instead we laugh at QUALITY as a case by case thing, while being fair and impartial to the rest of the medium. AI deserves at least that treatment in terms of being accepted as "artwork."
>>8853316Extremely rare case of that actually happening. 99% of people mocking AI for quality, is doing so simply because they hate AI.
Hahahaha, even Partychan is down now. It's so, SO over. Fuck. My backups aren't nearly complete.
>>8853600What the fuck is partychan
>>8853799Nothing, now.
>>8849656Pajeet hands typed this
I have a questiondoes gelbooru have more pics than danbooru?
>>8854483Yes, it has quantity over quality
Still waiting for update.....
>Paypal has fucked up Unifans lol lmao its ogre
>>8852591forum CHADS can't stop winning>m-muh privacystay begging
Kemono is 100% dead huhThe owner is such a fucking retard though
>>8854793ofcNow with Fanbox's recent announcement that they're taking action against crawlers, they're screwed. The only crap they're importing now is Discord servers.
>>8853017its over anon
>>8852591Most likely they're now killing the accounts of whoever shared their cookie. It's over; at this rate, it'll be better to scrape each one from their own session.
>>8854928Go be a retard elsewhere. The real yiffparty and Kemono revealed that 99% of uploaders don't know how to get the original files, gets the order wrong either purposefully or ignorantly, and deliberately uploads fake files.And if anyone is making a Kemono alternative, keep LLM slop banned. Actually, ban commentary/reaction videos too. Or at least compress the shit out of their files so retards on Exhentai upload replaceable galleries so they can get banned by the system. >>8854793You're a Redditor which means you're insulting him because you're a retard who doesn't understand how Kemono works as you either believe everything on Kemono was imported by one person with infinite money or that Kemono uses a backdoor to get content behind paywalls for free.
>>8854951I know there are many retards, but anyway, nobody's going to replace Kemono, you fuck dumb ass, so hopefully you'll find an alternative soon.
Honestly how much time you possibly give for an alternative to pop up if it happens.Heard kemono domain is also about to expire
>>8854951>The real yiffparty and Kemono revealed that 99% of uploaders don't know how to get the original files, gets the order wrong either purposefully or ignorantly, and deliberately uploads fake files.I've long said that they need to have some browser extension to automate scraping with the session's proper IP.>>8855029I wouldn't hold my breath.
>>8854951Hi Kemono's owner, go fuck yourself
>>8855032How ere they not doing something so basic? I can easily think of ways to try detecting some of that anyway if that was done, but there should have been some effort into making it not obvious if they were scraping so much.
>>8855179you'd still have to trust users not to fuck with the extension and make it pretend to scrape but instead upload CP, it's a highly non-trivial problem if the browser/scraper is not directly under your control
>>8855184It's a harder problem, but necessary. I don't think accepting anything without at least a couple of different users would be safe either. Tracking people based on very minor changes or times when a few get updated could narrow down the source when they would try to stop that, even if all users could be trusted.
>>8851622Yup, site is dead as fuck. They lost a legal battle with google early on and got delisted or something, their prospects of ad revenue funding their development never recovered after that so the entire project and it's future plans were scrapped. Owner isn't interested in it anymore, ad revenue sort of pays the hosting cost so they leave whatever is left running as is, as a courtesy to all the users. They don't interact or maintain it anymore, it's all dead and rotting code that barely works anymore. All it will take is one bad for the entire site to be wiped for good, shit is living on borrowed time. It's really surprising no one else has stepped up and created another public booru service like that.
>>8855214Someone made booru.plus years ago but the owner lost interest in running it and killed it. I've been hoping for some codefag to make an alternative for years but that hope's slowly fading.
>kemono owner and indian seethe in the same threadlmao
>>8844225Sankaku has been completely enshittified.I don't know how you can fuck up a booru site like this,The tag text size is too fucking big and the tags themselves are not even categorized anymore.I used to use it for stuff not allowed in danbooru, but I can't bear to use it anymore. Takes fucking forever to load too.I wish everyone was dedicated as the host of e-hentai. Despite bowing the knee to DMCAs, at least he maintains the site and it's functional without bullshit. The active community is a big plus as well. Only other comparable community is danbooru's. Only thing wrong with danbooru is the approval bullshit and blacklisted tags/artists.The artist wikis on danbooru are super underrated.
>>8852797>>8852591I stopped importing my fanbox shit to Kemono after Pixiv sent me a message.I don't mind dropping the cash and helping out the bros, but I'm not going to the effort of making a new Pixiv account after every incident.I wish the Kemono dev wasn't a retard.
>>8855489What message did you get? In my case it was only "change your password now, or we'll force change it in a few days".
>>8855541That's the gist of it, yeah.Along with some threats of terminating my account if there's repeated incidents.
Question, is it true kemono and weebdex sharing the same owner?
>>8855631It's Schale Network and Weebdex.
>>8855489Which artists are you subscribed to?
>>8855639Both sites have the same owner.>>8855631No.Schale is a paranoid bigot. He calls you a schizo and thinks you're stalking him whenever you say anything that he'll perceive as an attack. Someone asked on Reddit if Weebdex has the same owner as Niyaniya and Hdoujin, and Schale was pissed off by it and started calling him a schizo stalker. Schale hates interacting with people. Before Kemono's owner disappeared, he'd meme a lot and sometimes answer some questions here and there while hinting at new updates and fixes on that imageboard. I never used the Telegram or Mossadtrix but I heard he interactsd with everyone there every day. Kemono's owner doesn't hide being a furry.
>>8853085>>8855712>Nooo, don't be a poltard you chud!>Also everyone I don't like is a bigotYou people are beyond fucking annoying with how you shut down other people just to push your own garbage.
>>8855771Who are you quoting, Schale? Are you really a Jew aka a poltard?
Is kemono actually kill this time? or is it the usually doomer retardation whenever the importers are down for more then 3 days?
>>8856045At least for fanbox, probably not a lot of people are going to be willing to pass out their session details after those letters. And making a throw-away account there are I think fewer payment options for new accounts.
I don't understand why for now, even if it's "bothering", people who leaks stuffs on kemono don't just upload the stuffs on exhentai, until kemono is fixed. And same for the fanbox situation, if you can't upload by using cookies because you can be banned, just do manually on other sites.
>>8855489Do you need a japanese card to support artist on fanbox or can you use a regular one?
>>8856095Regular ones work
>>8856078I'm not even using kemono for fap, it was the only place where you can find early access of normies youtuber react channels like Autosave. Now I don't even know where to look for patreon leaks
>>8856045Are you getting paid to shill or do you do it for free? >>8856055Kemono is finished. Detecting account sharing through session key alone isn't difficult.Kemono isn't going to ask for your user agent and IP address because there's no security against MitM.The only solution is to create a p2p torrent site and create a program that scrapes the subscription sites, creates a unique public ID of your subscription account, creates a torrent and uploads it. Anyone caught messing with the program to upload fake files or edited files gets banned.
>>8849424looks like it's back for me, it looks like an MD5 now though it's not just the image data hash
>>8846536>something like gallery-dl requires the user to be a subscripber/paid access to any services of note to actually pull down that contentIsn't that also how Kemono works, though?
>>8856493Yeah but Kemono is easier.
>>8856237Are you the schizo from the sadpanda thread that accuses everyone of being a shill?
>>8844225>>>/r/20363201>>>/wsr/1555529Requests threads for Kemono
>>8856685Tell me, Mr. Anderson... what good is a request for Kemono updates... when the importer isn't even working?
>>8856779Hope dies last.[spoiler]But it dies.[/spoiler]
>>8846176I've been using gallery-dl for a while, but haven't actually used it for fanbox yet.I'm trying it now and it doesn't actually grab the images within the posts. It just grabs the banner image.
>>8857090I've configured gdl to get any new/updated post that is missing on Kemono. If you're subscribed to any artist I like and you will share the files, I'll give you the configuration. I'll make it so it copies the files to a zip file that you can delete after uploading it.
gelbooru is overrun with pajeets making sockpuppets the mods do nothingsite is dead, all it does is rip from danbooru.
>>8857247stop spamming your schizo babble in every thread because you got banned on Reddit, newfag.
Looks like Kemono's working again kinda.Back to sitting and hoping for a crumb of the comic I like.
Looks like Sankaku Complex (the booru) finished breaking. You'll always get a Search Timeout in mobile, the browsers won't load the front page, the searches won't work because you can only see one page and usually only what's on the favorites, and all videos show up with a length of 0:01 (but work fine).Have there been any changes that prevent free users from accessible the booru? Any good altermatives or scrapers? Barring the excess of AI, it had the biggest library of anything porn wise.
>>8857690They want everyone use that shitty "beta" website.
How do you follow artists on Baraag?
>>8849911super late but your isp blocked it with a dpi firewall
>>8855186>>8855184It might be possible to have the uploader run a proxy on their device. Idk if you can do this through a browser though and if not they'd have to run a program on their computer with would increase the barrier of entry
>>8857621Why did you have to lie and get my hopes up?
>>8857801Stop wasting time following people on a site, download instead and add to a list that you scrape every now and then.What is the point of following? It doesn't preserve anything and just increases a useless counter. One day the account will be taken down and the art will be lost.>>8857690>Any good altermatives or scrapers?Just use Gallery-DL on Sankaku and everything will be fine. I have no problems scraping artists with 10k+ results and I've scraped 4.82TB so far, though about 330GB are dupes I haven't bothered sorting out yet.Just make sure you pass it username and password to log in.If you want to build a serious archive you'd want it scraping metadata too. I can give you a simple script and config file for Gallery-DL that is great for downloading and it adds to a list so you can later run another script for updating your previously scraped tags.
>>8858024Sure, hit that script.>>8857788What is even it? Is it forcing us to pay for stupid features we don't need? I really hate that it's the biggest/most comprehensive booru out there, and they've jewed out.
>>8858420It's worse because it have same disgusting ass mobile ui from their app, on top of being resource heavy as shit.
>>8858024>If you want to build a serious archive you'd want it scraping metadata too.Why?
>>8858449Because it contains valuable information about the files, most notably the tags. Unless you want to run some less accurate AI tagging model on everything yourself which is a waste of compute and time when the tags are already available.But it also contains who the artist is, which AI taggers can't do, because the file itself doesn't hold that information, so scraping the metadata is important.Of course the file downloads to the artist folder, but if there's more than one artist, that becomes troublesome.It also contains the MD5 hash which is great for making sure you have a valid file, and it takes basically no time to scrape metadata and the space it takes is insignificant.Out of my 4.82TB of files, the tags make up for 2.67GB, and you could 7z them to make that much smaller.If you're a serious archivist, you'll store important information about the file.Having the tags is also great for being able to search it locally if you make a setup for it like I've done with some of my other archives.>>8858420Here you go: https://mega.nz/folder/0soTzZZS#hRKqDFEJ8Q5mLx9ODW4SWwThere's an included readme if you're having issues with it.All you need is python installed and added to PATH and edit the gallery-dl.conf with your username and password, but you can make a dummy account if you don't trust it.You can also scrape without account, but you will miss a lot of posts.Gallery-DL.exe is bundled with the scripts. If you don't trust it, you can grab the official exe from the github.It saves filenames like this: [2025.03.08-21.21.03] AZrKGxj6Kr5.jpg which is based on upload date + the post ID and the metadata files are saved under the same naming scheme in a separate folder.Enjoy scraping
>>8858484Is there a way to get this to save the text in posts, not just the images? Is that part of the metadata?
>>8858506You mean the comments people leave on the posts? Not with Gallery-DL to my knowledge.You'd probably have to make your own scraper for that, shouldn't be too difficult if you use ChatGPT.If you're having trouble setting it up, worst case you need to use PlayWright in a script to have an actual browser.The most challenging part is probably setting up a way to find the URLs for every single post, unless you use it alongside my scraper which already has the IDs written down.Here's a random JSON metadata file so you can see exactly what Gallery-DL stores: https://files.catbox.moe/a8kspc.jsonIt does however store information about how many comments there are, just not what they are and by whom.Strangely enough it stores reaction information.But comments and reactions are kinda useless because people can always comment on something, long after it's been posted, so if you wanted it to be accurate, you'd have to redownload it every time.Downloading once is fine, will just take a very long time if it's for a lot of posts, but if you want to update it, it of course takes a lot more time and you have to make sure it checks if it's missing some comments, so it doesn't overwrite the entire file because it's different due to for example post itself being removed or the comments.So it's a lot of trouble for something that IMO doesn't hold any real value.On another note, I do kinda wish tags were stored a bit differently, as there's no indication in the JSON what type a tag is, like if it's an artist tag, general tag or whatever.Would be so nice if Sankaku was like E621 and had a db export with all the tags, or just a database in general for all the posts, but no, sankaku has to be shit.But it seems like there is some structure in the JSON, order seems to be franchises, studio, characters, artists, genres, fashions, anatomies and so on, so you can roughly guess what something is.
>>8858697Wtf are you even talking about? Enter once after every word? I break up my lines like how almost every other user does.You on the other hand have double spacing, exactly how Reddit looks.Either way, it doesn't make any difference, it's just a typing style. Grow up.>What could go wrong clicking on a downloadable linkSimply clicking on it does nothing, you'd have to actually download it and run it.Either way the script is extremely simple, if you can't read the code to determine that it's safe, you're genuinely retarded.Biggest script is a mere 61 lines of code (33 if you exclude comments, spacings and print statements) and python is easily understandable if you know English, and if you still don't trust it, literally just feed it to ChatGPT to ask what the script does.Go troll somewhere else shitposting faggot, claiming others are retarded while proving just how retarded you are lmao.
>>8858603>You mean the comments people leave on the posts? What? No, I mean the text in the posts. That the artist writes. The description, I guess. Some artists write little fanfics to go with their art, I’d want to keep that too:
At least the schizo gets taken care off more quickly nowadays. Even if he just won't take his meds.
>>8858737>retardedI can at least read basic English to determine that 33 lines of code is safe :^)>>8858743I don't really know as I haven't looked into it, I guess you'll just have to try it on a post with a description to see, but I kinda doubt it.I'd check it myself, but it's such a rare thing that I can't find it easily. But if you're patient and you know of a post, just give me link to it and I'll test tomorrow.>>8858756It's still quite rare, jannies just happened to do a good job for once today. It's very tempting to just never help anyone ever again on this site, just trolls everywhere.4Chan was never the place for something serious, which is quite unfortunate. So much potential wasted.
>>8858759>It's very tempting to just never help anyone ever again on this site, just trolls everywhere.It helps to think of the schizos and trolls as background noise. I think this is much easier on 4chan than elsewhere on the internet where they have to be more careful, where they get obliterated if they stand out too much.
>>8858759>It's very tempting to just never help anyone ever again on this sitefwiw i wish i'd had some pointers a few years ago when i got into scraping boorus and pixiv, it would have saved me a lot of time. even if i have no need for what you posted, it was still refreshing to see actual help being shared and code discussion happening, which is rarer and rarer these days. ignore the schizo, he broke out of his sadpanda containment thread and everyone knows who he is, including jannies. would not be shocked if i get a reply to this post calling me a retarded newfag that somehow devolves into yapping about reddit spacing and 2016 election tourists lmao
>>8846609I see. Yeah, saw it. Wish there was more stuff on I2P.>>8847668No shit. You didn't answer my question.
>>8858781>background noiseYeah except they're so damn noisy and always come back because the jannies don't do a good enough of a job.4Chan should have a proper hardware ID ban or something to ensure people don't just switch IP to come back.>>8858794>fwiw i wish i'd had some pointers a few years ago when i got into scraping boorus and pixivSame, I started archiving relatively late, now there's a lot of posts that I might never be able to obtain.But I wish I knew a lot of things sooner, like video encoding, because back a few years I ruined so many of my personal videos by compressing, not understanding how it all works and then discarding the original because I thought it was good, when it very clearly wasn't.There should be a universal site that is well known that teaches people stuff like that and scraping and such and it's been very tempting to make it myself, but problem is that it wouldn't be well known.I think we'd all be better off if more people understood how images and videos work aswell as how to scrape them and share it, at least the very basics of it. We'd have less hyper compressed material aswell as less posts purged to oblivion because nobody scraped it.I wish there was a bigger effort into preserving art.>>8858784>>8858787>>8858823You keep crying out the words "retarded" and "slop" but you don't actually know what they mean. Take your meds.>wasted mega.nz's storageIt pales in comparison to the wasted storage required for all your shitposts lmao.
Man...
Just an update Kemono board is downSearch is not fetching dataArtist pages are still upBetter scrape whatever you need because the site is going offline.
>>8859158It's bleak.The site is getting hammered and you get 502s every other request.I did a decent job of archiving what I wanted, but there was just so much shit.Sucks.
>>8859158You should be scraping anyways, it's just a matter of time before everything eventually dies.>Search is not fetching dataOn Kemono.cr? Works just fine for me.
>>8859158What I find interesting is, that while Kemono's pixiv importer is dead, nekohouse's works just fine?
>>8859255What? Nekohouse hasn't updated pixiv galleries in a year... do you still live in 2025?
>>8859258Fuck>2025Rofl, I'm blind af. You are right Anon.
Can I export the list of my favorite artists somehow?
Guys, can you stop hammering it for like one second so I can download this zip please
I see less people are uploading to them. How could it become more fun or useful to post in the boorus instead of xitter?
>>8859158Hopefully a similar site pops up. Honestly kemono was the best there's ever been
Dammit, i love kemono as archive because lots of artists from fanbox and patreon got banned
>>8859738Yeah, people talking about how the site will be replaced are missing that kemono has a lot of deleted content currently.
>>8859158>Better scrape whatever you need because the site is going offline.Can't scrape with all these 502s.
i really wish the people behind Syuro uploads on kemono would post the stuff elsewhere
rip kemono
Damn, Kemono was the best I've found for bypassing Patreon paywall. Looks like the site is going under, was fun while it lasted.
The kemono chan is back online now somehow.
I'm not holding out hope for kemono or coomer to update anymore, and I doubt an alternative will come out anytime soon
If I drop a fantia subscription then resub latter, do I regain access to all the stuff I had from the previous subscription?
>been blocked from accessing Kemono for the past couple months>managed to enjoy freely released shit>notice I've missed 5 updates from deadbeat patreon>finally crack and get a VPN for some poonany>site goes down last nightI hate being retarded
>want to share manga over catbox>can't because LLM slopper killed catbox>see kemono dying>curious if anyone on 4cuck is talking about it>see this thread>OP is a samefagging tranny redditor propagandizing LLM slop
>Need download few couple of smaller files>keep getting errors before finishFUCK. Please tell me that some autismo have backup of whole thing.
>>8850001I was thinking the exact same thing.basically, going from monero -> some clear coin -> pixiv? ive seen options online are basically either:- bitcash/webmoney (play-asia.com, SEAGM, offgamers)- v-preca (play-asia.com, SEAGM)- local japanese convenience store card (impossible for me)- loading a virtual prepaid Mastercard/Visa card (KYC restrictions make this difficult, dont know any concrete/confirmed routes)as mentioned above, bitcash/webmoney/v-preca work on fantia and dlsite but pixiv and services like FANBOX are pretty restricted.I'd appreciate any info. just anon trying to stay private out here
rip bozo
Why does piracy make the nips mald like crazy? They're currently chimping out just because some westoids decided to save the Nier gacha by making a private server
>>8860486They are literal cattle anon, also piracy can lead to jail time.
>>8860463how come she has never got any porn
>>8860336By default no, you lose everything. While artists have the option to allow access to past content, I don't know any who've enabled this. Making you pay twice, that's why it's called the Fantia scam.
>>8860486probably "If i can't have it , you shouldn't have it too" mentality.
I hate how pixiv hid all their oneeshota stuff, can't find a suitable replacement.
>>8860599literally just go to your settings and change location to japan
>>8860602gee whiz thanks a bunch!
>>8860486its the culture, they revere ip and copyright laws almost to a religious extent, they're always talking about "respecting artists" but they just end up protecting their overlords capital
>>8860463Login got fixed and now have less 502 errors. I think is the best time to backup stuff, specially because panda is missing ton of niche artists
>>8860766It really is running better. I wonder if it was living on failing hardware that the hosting service finally noticed
>>8860766>>8860859It's touch-and-go. Still get long strings of errors now and then. Probably the best it's going to get, though. Save your favs.
I think kemono server become stable now. Also, i don't need to refresh to open party board anymore.
>>8857414everyone looks like a schizoid to a schizoid
