⚄︎ 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.

and sadly i must be the only one... anyways. i've been tinkering with self-hosted models the whole day and nothing has come close to perchance. Perhaps someone knows what model/loras they use? i'd really like to self-host... Thanks in advance~

Yes... I tried some self hosted models (=> ComfyUI), but I miss a secret sauce. The results are far below perchance.org T2I results regarding... well... the "overall feeling". Most of them are plain and simple bad at quality, composition and consistency. Z-Image-Turbo was the only model which performed good (to a certain extent), but the training material seems to have been heavily filtered for "all good looking and shiny things and especially people". It's quite incapable of generating some more down-to-earth or slightly ugly stuff. perchance.org seems less biased here, which results in a wider variety of "person types" you could achieve. If the devs would disclose, what they exactly do, to modify or enhance a model - that would be quite interesting.

Same results here. So far the best results i've gotten with Nova anime XL and toony lora, but the prompt comprehension just isn't close, especially for art style. + if i then tried to gen something realistic i'd have to change the checkpoint/loras... so i'm guessing they have multiple engines running, and they are picked based on the prompt? either that or some they use checkpoint/loras that cover really broad spectrum of... everything imaginable. So far i haven't found anything like that. According to text-to-image plugin it only takes 3gb, but i doubt that. Old info i guess.

A small peek behind the scene provided by the dev would be awesome. I guess, there is something to be learned :-)...
