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.
