⚄︎ 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.

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.

Been using perchance for over a year and I love that it has no restrictions and is free but the word limit on the prompt is so bad. My prompts aren't crazy complicated but the word limit is just disappointing. If it's not permanent how long until its fixed? Any help or info would be appreciated

Yep. We are working on it, but to get higher token counts and or inference. You have to leverage either forms of modulation, adv Prompting techniques "basically anything outside just natural language and line breaks"aka casual Promoting, Or leverage anyone of the new formalized prompting methods of Flux.2 Klein model, The model which our current latest update is based on.

They also really need to bring back the weights or whatever its called because there is so much stuff just i can't make right now because it prioritizes the wrong stuff and think "a lot" means slightly more than normal

I agree, there is a huge community of perchance dedicated users who are patiently awaiting some news, ANY NEWS, from the dev about all the regressive rollbacks of the update. The token limit is tiny, weights no longer work, CFG behavior is different, and many generators that use style mixing are basically worthless as the token limit cuts off most of the prompts.

All we are asking for is the dev saying if this is the new normal or are things still being worked on? Can we at least get that much communication?

So many prompts are useless now, old collected "perfect" seeds are now changed presumable because of the token limit. without weights many prompts are unbalanced.

I know we dont owe the dev anything. All we are asking for is simple communication. ANYTHING. Please.

And I 2nd the need to return weights,seeds,cfg,token count back to normal.

your users that love perchance are struggling for no reason.
