⚄︎ 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.

Recently, a couple of people started losing images in their private galleries from the text-to-image-plugin.

Here are some posts about it:

  • Reddit Post about Gallery being Purged
  • Tsuyoi KaiZoKu mentioned from Discord that some of their images in a private gallery disappeared after saving it into the gallery after a certain amount of time (I wasn't able to replicate it and they mentioned it might be depending on the number of images on the gallery).

Please comment below any information/problems you also encountered with the same issue.

Some helpful information you can provide:

  • Generation date of the image saved into the gallery that has disappeared.
  • When the purge/disappearance of images happened
  • Generator that you have your gallery on
  • Any test you tried to replicate the problem

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting! This is unfortunately a known issue (that I hadn't mentioned anywhere) related to abuse-prevention and safety - e.g. to prevent children from accidentally seeing images that are not appropriate for their age. I'm still working on this and I haven't yet hit upon an ideal solution.

Images are not deleted - just temporarily hidden when viewed from a new device (or same device if localStorage/cookies are cleared, or in incognito), but it should only occur if the images are potentially not appropriate for all audiences (but note that even words like "kiss" can trigger the filter).

The workaround that I'd suggest to users having this problem is to simply use the image generator on the new device for a few minutes, and the items should come back. Again, certainly not an ideal solution, but it'll do for now.

I would probably also mention about users getting Error: 520, upon prompting explicit NSFW prompts in ai-text-plugin, I would assume it is the same.

[–] perchance 2 points 1 year ago

Hmm, strange. That shouldn't happen. I just tried a non-PG prompt and it worked fine for me. The 520 errors will sometimes occur (I'm working on trying to reduce them), but usually just indicate some sort of inference failure. If you hear several reports of this, especially with some sort of reproducible example, please do let me know.
