Hello all, I've noticed there is no actual master thread that compiles all the hidden secrets/easter eggs on the MangaDex site so I decided to make it myself. I might also throw in some facts about stuff that was changed later in V3/V5. But anyways, feel free to add your own stuff if you know any!
Credits to @Angry_Panda for the title idea that I repurposed.

MikuDex
Something that's been around since V3. I got it to activate on mobile by swiping left on the main site. No idea if there is a way to activate on PC.

Ignoring
Trying to ignore staff or yourself isn't normally possible since the button to do it like a normal user isn't there, but there is a way to get around this. By replacing the profile ID on the ignore link to your own profile ID or staff, you can see what would happen in each instance:

Staff members may not be ignored.
You may not ignore yourself.

Though it does make me curious to know what would happen if you ignored a normal user who later turned into staff (like @Atifus), would they stay in your ignore list?

Reacting to your comments
If you were on another account and then opened the reaction page to your own main account comment in a new tab, copied said link and tried to do it on your main account you would get this message:
Reacting to your own content is considered cheating.

Hidden messages on the search bar
No pictures but I have seen this happen myself when searching stuff up on mobile back in 2023, it looks like it happens while the search is loading, so you have to be quick to see it. There is a whole thread about it, here are some messages people have written in said thread:

MangaDex V5 used to display reaction score with comments
When V5 first released, the reaction score was displayed alongside message count. This was changed 3 days later to what we see today.

Deleted users
I have only seen one instance of this happening, if you have witnessed this occurrence elsewhere, I would like to hear about it.

Hidden Threads
I only know of one because of @sterven, the gore/guro thread. Enough said on the thread title, you can no longer view the contents of the thread in V5. If you know of any more, it would be nice to know.
