An option to block all "official publisher" groups at once.

[VINT64]

I need an option to block all current and future "official publishers" groups because blocking them manually one by one as they come becomes tedious. I only want to see new chapters that are uploaded to MD directly, not links to sites where chapter may 50/50 be paywalled

Have you tried blocking NotXunder?
Not all of them are bad but having such an option would be convenient for many.

Fr, why has this become such a problem just now

I've manually blocked most official publishers. But I read plenty of stuff on Manga+ and like knowing when something is back from a break.

So I wish there was a way I could block chapters that are not newer from showing up in my feed. I like knowing there's a new chapter of Ruri Dragon up. I care not at all that they have chapters 1-4 of a series I've been reading for years. It seriously makes me consider blocking m+, even knowing that I'll probably miss some updates, so that I can see things that aren't effectively reuploads spammed en masse. Maybe someway that the system that groups individual chapters together can only show "New Chapter: It's a banger" (and 5 more) rather than 6 full lines.

The bot has already finished going through all the backlog, so if you finished reading through your feed with the filters on, you should be able to remove them and read the new ones as they get published on Manga+.

There are a lot of Alpha Manga uploads today, so I think news of the backlog being finished isn't quite accurate.

Hindsight is 20/20. It was accurate at the time. It's just that they now added a new input stream, so that added another couple thousand chapters (just over 4000 as of Sept 15th) to the queue from Alpha Manga. 🤷‍♂️

Fortunately, as long as you have your blocks still set at on the uploader, you won't be impacted since the alpha manga chapters are also added through the same account. If you're still interested in checking out the official publisher chapters, you can still use the procedure I wrote in my previous post to not miss any chapters from scanlators while the bot is busy going through the queue.
Alternatively, if you're only interested in Manga+ chapters (like the person I reacted to is), you can block on group level and leave manga+ out, since new chapters for manga+ should only be added to MangaDex as new chapters become available on that platform.

I just came here to suggest the same. I don't care about publishers. I care about the original author and their original releases. I also don't care about leaving the mangadex site, since most publications are forcing you to sign in to read and have an abysmal web design.
