⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

Under the hood of image generator (self.perchance)

Hi Perchance team!

I've been delving into the world of AI image generation, and have found that the Perchance generator is head and shoulders above pretty much everything else, and ridiculously fast. I'm very impressed, and was wondering if you might indulge me with a few questions?

To preface, I feel like you can't be getting good value out of me as a user - I'm frequently generating a ton of images, and only seeing occasional ads. To that end, I'm trying to shift my heavier usage to my own local Stable Diffusion instance, but don't seem to get the same quality of results.

Completely understand if you want to keep the secret recipe a secret - but if you're willing to share - what checkpoints/LORAs/etc. are you using? My best guess is SD1.5 + Reliberate, which gives me better results than the other checkpoints I've experimented with, but it's definitely not the whole picture.

I also wanted to ask if you guys accept donations, or have a way for me to shout you coffee, beer, courvoisier, or whatever. :D

You can hover over the images to see the prompt that was used. Some keywords are added to the prompt on the backend depending on the "Art Style" used, and you can see those, as well as the seed, when you hover.

At one time in the past, the generator was saving prompt/generation information in the EXIF data of the images. The last image I have saved that contained EXIF data showed the generator was using SD1.5+Deliberate v2, 20 steps, Euler a, CFG/Guidance 7. It really does seem like there's other things going on under the hood though, because if I use those settings and input the saved prompt exactly, even including the same seed, from one of the images I have saved from before the EXIF data was dropped, I can't replicate the image using HappyAccidents. The quality is the same basically the same, but experience tells me that if I feed the exact same prompt, seed, and configuration into both, I should get the same output, which I do not, which tells me there's still something hidden somewhere.

I really wish that saved EXIF data would be brought back. It makes it a lot easier to go back to an image I saved from earlier and tweak or retouch it.
