Please refrain from posting disturbingly inaccurate generations
I’m not talking about the occasional weird proportions or AI Hands™ we love making fun of. There have been a few (now deleted by their creator) generations that the general audience of this community have communicated they clearly do not wish to see. If you want that kind of content, feel free to create your own community for that.
And as for the “half rule”: Please try not to host on Imgur. I’ve been having trouble accessing any kind of content whatsoever (including SFW stuff) from there in the past while, and all the FOSS frontends get rate limited frequently enough that it impacts my ability to moderate properly. I’m not going to remove posts just because they’re hosted on Imgur for the time being, but please consider hosts that are friendlier to NSFW content.
Also, this community is getting way more active than I expected when I first created it. I am not exactly sure how to proceed beyond asking for a couple more people to be around to help (oh, I should mention, I added @itsame@lemmynsfw.com and @StrongSuspect4913@lemmynsfw.com as mods to help me with this community, and I’m considering asking for a few more people).
If you do want to be a mod, do note that one of the responsibilities you will have on your shoulders is deciding if something is underage or not. We do not allow blatant lolicon/shotacon nor any realistic posts that are clearly under 18 (If you do see anything of that sort, REPORT), but while some generations are so blatant you don’t need to check beyond the thumbnail to remove, there are many that are “teetering on the line” so to speak. (And I sure as shit don’t want to be the ONLY person who decides on where that line is)
And finally, there is something else that’s been bugging me lately, and I feel like I should at least throw this idea out to all of you, just to see what the reception would be like:
Should realistic generations and Anime-style generations be on the same community?
When I created this community, I didn’t expect how prevalent realistic posts would be. You can tell by my own posts all being Anime-styled that I have no clue how you wizards manage to do it with the quality you do. And clearly people want to see more of it, so who am I to stop you from doing so?
There are middle grounds like adding tags to titles as makeshift flairs, but I do not want to go back to the days of “please tag your post as NSFW we mods literally can’t do anything about it” but instead with style tags rather than a simple checkbox that says NSFW.
You’re the ones here posting and (presumably) masturbating to this content, so I’m leaving the answer to that question up to you.
This post turned out to be way longer than I expected.
And so we have the part I was worried about. This is becoming a “my secret formula” instead of sharing and helping others get better and share in the interest of creation. Personally I disagree with you on the premise that we should be helping others get better. Just sharing the prompts and the model used isn’t the ticket to the kingdom, but it does help people start to shape their own prompts.
For instance, using less iterations (15) sometimes gets a better result than using more (50). Didn’t know this until I saw someone who shared their experience. But that doesn’t give me the secret to make exactly the same images as them.
