[Help] A guide for guardians (parents/teachers/etc) to Perchance?
  • I just did my first banning of someone from the comments on my generator because they were saying things that made it clear no woman or child should ever, for their own safety, share personal info where they can see. And banned people can still see comments. So as much as I would like to say Perchance has safe places, it really is more like being on a public street in a city and people need to be wary enough to survive in such a place and perfectly withstand probing for personal information. Some people learn internet safety early and some later, so imo it depends on the individual for which age I would let them on. The actual maker of Perchance has ideals and won't cause harm no matter what info they could get; the publIc nature of the place is the concern.

  • My suggestion for ai art SD improvement is 3.5 or nothing
  • Interesting I've never touched Flux but right in that post someone commented a flux image of a woman holding a sign similarly and it was just as high quality and when i look it up flux seems equivalent to SD3.5. Thank's that sounds like good news.

  • My suggestion for ai art SD improvement is 3.5 or nothing
  • Since typing that like an hour ago it continues to climb. Anyway, I'd love to be able to have imgs made with Perchance go viral like this. It's a fun feeling. SD3.5 is, according to me, the cutoff point for this.

  • My suggestion for ai art SD improvement is 3.5 or nothing

    @Perchance you mentioned improving the ai art a while ago and mention on the page of the plugin improving it.

    I now have an opinion which can be summarized by looking at this image. This is SD3.5

    !

    I managed maybe 40 upvotes tops in that forum with Perchance images and even SDXL can't do things coherently enough to really convey a message. Anyway, so after much SDing, I, having used SD3.5 significantly, find it is top tier and competes at top tier while none of the other SDs can. Interestingly I also broke 100 upvotes via Bing. I find I basically use Perchance and SD3.5 now (they are different and SD3.5 is not actually 100% better. Variety among images actually seems less. Like if I take prompts made on beautiful people in to sd3.5, all images with words 'mythic superwitch' and 'dreamlike' become images of ugly glowy red midgets, no matter the variation of the other like 90 words of the prompt).

    So, while I have literally no idea how achievable this is, my perspective is that Perchance is a fine unique niche now and that upgrading to anything before 3.5 is not 3.5 and thus a waste ~it would just be 'along the same lines as 3.5 but worse'. Also it, and even SDXL before it are different enough from Perchance that i think ai-plugin should not be 'upgraded' but a second plugin made for, hopefully, SD3.5 and users can use one or the other for quite some time. Just my opinion on the ai art upgrading I hear occasionally.

    [New Plugin] Power Rolling Numbers Plugin 🔢

    Is fun fact. :)

  • [FAQ] Helping perchance as an experienced dev
  • Tho all the stickied things on the generator page are cool, I personally believe a single t2i generator blows them all out of the water because anyone can open up a t2i generator, see how it is written, think "i can do this", and start their coding journey, from wherever they are, in a fun way. Glad you are making things 'on our level' with the same plugins we have access to and as feedback for you and all the experienced devs you would like building things, it's to get creations in to a t2ilike format so further growth, from and for other people, can happen. Otherwise they are just unrepeatable curiosities. Just my unstoppably honest opinion :) sorry :)

  • logged on tonight and this error
  • maybe like white on white or green text on green background could be alternate choices. or like an option to only show half the letters. Those would be challenging too. Tho the black text on black background is a start. Maybe like 1/3 of the time needlessly jumble up all the letters too. Anyway, just ideas. the black on black is good enough so far tho for unexpected xtra challenge.

  • logged on tonight and this error
  • o that's cool. checked the error message today and there was more info which pinpointed the offending code. Was my fault and had to do with getting an element by id when the element had been created with a plugin (requires waiting like a second so the plugin can be loaded, which i hadn't done). One thing if this is an upgrade of errordescriptions is black text on black background is hard to see :)

  • [Suggestion for Audio Plugin] I just improved something about mine which yours could benefit from too

    After trillIons of years of it working errorlessly, edits to a custom T2I tonight caused me to get this error even tho my audio plugin was written with an eventlistener for click identically to how the Perchance Audio Plugin suggested script does. !

    I'm not sure why the error and I think it doesn't matter. What matters is I solved it with this: ! so my code now is window.addEventListener("click", function(){if(navigator.userActivation.isActive && etc etc and it no longer bugs because it checks whether the user counts as active.

    Whatever fringe scenario was causing mine to bug (a programmatic click perhaps?) would I'm sure also have happened with https://perchance.org/background-audio-plugin, and since I just solved mine with this nice little line, I am suggesting navigator.userActivation.isActive for https://perchance.org/background-audio-plugin too (to preemptively not have anyone encounter this bug).

    what are these? What are we supposed to do?
  • @perchance@lemmy.world

    ok so then i got one with prompt ((Starlit Sky)) and saved it to gallery and the prompt was different, as u can read about in other replies. BUT WHY IM PINGING U IS ((Starlit Sky)) just did it again maybe 12 images later (edit: just got it a third time same prompt)

    This one tho is not able to save to gallery, i guess cuz the other one i just put in the gallery

    hopefully among these pics is your solution

    edit: this is what did it twice in less than 50 imgs. Prompt ((Starlit Sky)) on style Dreamlike

    edit: and another. slightly different and able to also go in gallery. Again idk where the prompt in info is from and idk who Pevita Pearce is who is mentioned in the prompt.

    apparently Dreamlike with ((Starlit Sky)) is the way to reliably generate these and this combo results in this lineperson apparently

  • NSFW
    what are these? What are we supposed to do?
  • just looked at the info of the recent one now that it's in gallery and the prompt is entirely different from what it actually was and, in fact, nothing on Beautiful People generates a prompt like what It says, which is: "beautiful flat-style logo design depicting A colorful picture of a red, silver and white music background and colorful musical note , creative flat-style logo design, trending on dribbble, featured on behance, portfolio piece, minimal flat design, breathtaking graphic design, 8k, high resolution vector logo, plain background, amazingly beautiful logo design, winner of best logo award"

    @Perchance, looking at the TextToImage plugin page again today the wrongness of the line 'the same seed generates the exact same picture' is sort of jarring since nothing else on the page is false nor misleading (that i kno of).

    for those of you who dont know, the same seed generates a variety of similar pictures.

    [undoable request] objects instead of arrays or variables

    explained to someone why: stuff = blah blah blah thing = meow doesn't work. But it actually could. 'stuff' COULD be an object that can both hold it's own value AND hold arrays of items. Tho probably so much would have to be changed to have it work seamlessly that it's undoable. Interesting potential improvement that came to light today tho.

    [suggestion] a realistic nsfw model

    i think the suggestion itself is not nsfw so it shouldn't be tagged nsfw. Anyway, I have noticed trillions of times now that there is an everpresent issue among people trying to generate nsfw images that are not specifically Anthro nor Anime that the HD and Realistic model or models seem badly or not trained on NSFW content. It is a question I and probably everyone with an ai art generator has had asked of us. Also, tons of people generate NSFW images. I believe, as far as models perchance text-to-image could have, realistic nsfw is the one that currently is the biggest missing model that, if present, would appeal to most people.

    [Suggestion] Improved Search Feature

    Someone on the chat of generators page at 1:14am today asked: "How do I find roleplays here? I find the generator overwhelming but if I go to search it just takes me to google. I assumed creations would show me like a.i people have already made"

    I remember a while ago Perchance saying Findability could be improved. I agree and had been thinking maybe have a community event of everyone suggest stuff for 'generator finding' and for a while dabbled in recording which generators passed thru the Generators page that I thought people really cared about and were following up on and making a personally curated list, which I know many others have occasionally thought similarly and tried.

    But none of that is really a concrete followable step by step improvement. Tonight tho, with that comment, here is one: Make the Search feature a real feature.

    Right now it DOES feel 'underwhelming' in that someone clicks Search at the top of the Generator's page, and then it is 'surprisingly disappointing' when it does not really search through generators, but opens up a google with a specific search term. So here is a concrete suggestion as to improving findability while also pulling up something that has fallen behind in quality compared to everything around it: Upgrade Search Function on Generators Page. Make the search a real thing :)

    [Plugin Variation] Wheel a1

    omg i forgot to even say. another thing while i was making distance quest is i initially tried to do it with the normal spinning wheel but had multiple issues. most noticeably, someone can keep touching the wheel right before it stops to start it spinning again and basically spin it 'until it hits what they want'. So here is this: https://perchance.org/wheel-plugin-a1 Distance Quest uses wheel a1 and is why the wheels are safe from cheating. also has onfinish or onstart or something like that. i did a few things to it and also changed syntax because i found the initial syntax for onStart or onFinish (whichever it had initially) unwieldy and since i had to reroute one of them to complete the anticheating mechanism, i just made them both onStart and onFinish. So it is neither a wheel that functions identically to the original, nor is it exactly backwards compatible, but may be better if you are trying to make something competitive where you don't want cheating. also has the color picker on the plugin page

    I've noticed some generators go private after a while

    https://perchance.org/leaderboard-plugin-v2 stays public for a while after i set it to public, then goes private after a while without me doing anything. I had initially been paranoid thinking Perchance didn't want my leaderboard up for some reason, but it's clearly a thing to freely empower people and the 'going private' happens more frequently than i think Perchance browses the recent generators page. I have been thinking now, could it be because I copied the 'bad regexes' function from the generators page to make chooseable names on the plugin in line with the censoring of the generators page? That is my guess as to the 'privating'; that it has to do with the code on my page containing tons of 'bad words'. If so, this is quite the interesting topic. I should like for things I am making for use on multiple people's pages to have the same default censoring as Perchance Main. That seems, to me, best. If there is censoring in public spaces on Perchance, to have the option for things made for public spaces on Perchance to have the same censoring. That is what I did and I think it is causing my thing to be caught by censors and made private every some number of milliseconds.

    Anyway, nice discussion topic. should there be perhaps a global censoring function for Perchance perhaps that anyone can take in to their code, without triggering 'privating', that allows them to align their generator or plugin with Perchance censoring?

    Is there something else that triggers certain generators to 'go private'? It has happened to one other of mine that I don't remember, and Leaderboard v1 and Leaderboard v2, both of which contain the same 'bad regexes' code which patrols the generators page generator names. Yet I was making a nsfw word list in Beautiful-people which has never caused it to become private.

    Anyway, curious thing that came up. thoughts?

    Right now I have the interesting conundrum of wanting to make someone a mod on the comments of my generator but not wanting to just leave the code in the public chat for who knows how long. Best way I think would be an option in commentOptions to list Mods by Id so they can just be clicked and id found and made a mod.
