AI Plugins Posts

Here is a FAQ for the AI tools in Perchance.

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?”

There are guides, tutorials, and resources on the internet that can be applied when prompting in the AI tools in Perchance.

We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

If you need help in prompting, please post on the ‘sister’ forum at Casual Perchance

  • If you didn’t find anything about your problem there, feel free to search through the posts/articles here:
  • If you can’t still find anything related to your problem, feel free to post a thread here.
    • Please title your post effectively.
    • Please provide a link to your generator with your attempts of solving the problem.
    • Try to explain what you want it to do and what example output it should be doing.

    I came to my generator page yesterday and the preview window was dark grey - text black - I cannot see it well enough to use - and I want to get the preview window back to white background. Any idea how? I do not have dark mode set on anything on my computer - I hate dark mode - this lemmy.world seems to be dark - and I am very uncomfortable here and will go away but this seems to be the only place to ask questions… this dark screen is giving me a head ached and I cant use my generator until I figure out how to get that great color out of my preview window. Does anyone have any ideas how this happened and how I can fix it?

      There isn’t really a list of ‘galleries’ currently. So, if you saved an image to a gallery and forgot the name of the gallery, it might be lost until you remember the name of the gallery.

      The only gallery that is ‘publicly’ known or the default is the ‘public’ gallery.

      You can then open the gallery by clicking the ‘open gallery’ and click on the ⚙icon and it will show a prompt. Enter ‘gallery’ and then enter the gallery name to access the images on that gallery like so:

    Is there a designated format/tag/page/etc. for submitting generators for the ‘Useful Generators’ page? All that page says is to post on the forum and I haven’t been able to find anything here.

      Just post it as a ‘Suggestion’ and specify that it is a submission to the useful generators.

      @Alllo Hello from the Casual Perchance community.

      When I post about an edited image on your community, I deemed that was fine, but then I got permanently banned from the site. I was giving up because I had only a Mastodon account to post things there. Alas, I might not be able to have access to that account for a few days, even if it gets unbanned.

      Just woke up this morning and found that my Lemmy account does, and I was even appointed as a mod to that community. Really a magic. 🤯

        @[email protected] wow how wierd! also i love your edited image. it is very cool. I wonder why you got permanently banned. That is so strange. As an admin you can see the modlog there and i just scrolled thru it and no one there permabanned you. i wonder what happened! everything is ok now though? Are any of your accounts still weirdly blocked from anything?

          @Alllo My account got banned at the time the post was made, around 8 hours ago as of this comment. Everything seems to be okay, apart from me deciding to take a break from that account for a few days until I got to work with it again.

          And thankfully my Mastodon account has never been gotten blocked from any instance until now.

            I looked to the modlog on your instance, and saw that you were reinstated. It was an ‘Automod’ bot that banned you, but it was reverted now @BluePower.

      The link of your generator is the URL of your page: https://perchance.org/your-url-page

    Could you remove that giant thumbnail perhaps? Might have to remove the link of the post, and just put it in the body to do that. It’s just taking over the main feed pretty heavily unfortunately. I don’t know why it works like that on here.
