⚄︎ 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.

I find the update to image generator sadly quite horrendous. The quality in aesthetics in all kind of different styles has dropped imensly. Faces often look totally weird. Their is no comparisson between the former and the new one in quality. Before it had this certain magical style that made it stand out. The aesthetics were brilliant. In some sense it was almost like an underground midjourney alternative. This is now gone. Maybe the new one can do text a little better. But you can use any other engine for that. The unique perchance style you don't get anywhere else. Please change it back! Or maybe offer both. But from an artistic point of view this is a catastrophy right now.

If it is any consolation, you are describing exactly what i am experiencing: loss of realistic quality with practically all results being rendered as cartoons and with mangled and mixed up limbs far far more often than prior to this latest update ... So sad to see a wonderful version downgraded for no reason that I can understand.
