Do you track your manga? If so, what do you use? Do you actually use it to track stuff or just register things every once in a while? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm kind of curious on which platforms are most popular on this community or if someone still tracks things manually.

what is this media server thing you are referencing?

take a look at plex or jellyfin for example. these are media servers that can be setup to automatically organize your media library and keep track of what you have downloaded, what series you are watching, what episodes you have watched, etc. also like you mentioned they also provide some sort of streaming service where you can watch your media over the network without having to download it on every single device.
I'd also like to mention that usually downloading is done using an external software like sonarr or radarr that fall in a gray zone in terms of legality so be careful if you ever plan to go that route.

for manga specifically, Komga can serve and track your progress. it integrates with tachiyomi and also runs a webapp that you can fallback to. i tried Jellyfin for manga and the UI just was not fun to use tbh.

neither of these track your progress publicly in the way that MAL does though, AFAIK.
