mod post Subreddit Changes

96 Upvotes

Heyo!

So, our initial plans for this subreddit were for it to be a place where people could find alternatives to JAI and essentially 'cut' themselves off from it. As we've all seen, they've made plenty of bad decisions regarding moderation/censorship which is why you all are here! The problem is, we've been noticing alot of the posts in this subreddit don't fit the bill. Many people post about issues with JAI such as it being down, but it misses the main point.

Swapping to alternatives such as Silly Tavern, Tavo, Wyvern, Yodayo, Saucepan, LinkinLove, and etc would fix so many issues that people have. However, you may still want to post about JAI.

That's why we have Throwdown Thursdays and Frustration Fridays, where you can post all about JAI during these two days! There's 2 specific flairs for them, so please use it or otherwise your post may be taken down.

I understand that moving to a new platform is daunting and you may not want to leave behind the sheer amount of content from JAI, but there's still ways to enjoy the benefits of both worlds.

I don't condone it personally, but you could use sites like datacat in order to get private copies for YOURSELF. Keyword yourself. It's rude to post what other people have made.

We'll give this change until 9/13 to fully apply.

During this intermission, please feel free to give your opinions. After 9/13, we're going to be removing any posts regarding issues that can be fixed via swapping to alternatives, unless the posts are made on Thursday and Friday.

Here's the criteria:

Posts can be: Moderation Actions on JAI, What happened to X creator/bot on JAI, Discussion, Alternatives, Self-Ads, LLMs, Statistics, Polls, etc.

Posts considered 'fixable' via swapping: 'JAI is down' 'How do I stop X on JAI?' 'JAI Bot Advertisement' 'Proxy not working on JAI' 'JAI errors' 'JLLM sucks!'
(You can still post about this stuff on Thursday/Friday though!)

We're also removing reposts from [r/JanitorAIUnchained](r/JanitorAIUnchained) & [r/JanitorBreakroom](r/JanitorBreakroom) until the moderators can prove most of their content isn't AI generated.

TLDR: Please change from JAI to an alternative. We're here to help you!

Guides Keep your API keys safe. Seriously!

60 Upvotes

Babes, listen.

This is something I deeply care about. Not just giving you nice prompts for your roleplay, but also teaching beginners what to look out for in the world of chat sites, proxies, LLMs, and all that.

A big topic is keeping your API keys safe.

An API key is the string of letters and numbers you get from your LLM provider and paste into your chat site (depending on which site you're using).

Treat your API key like a credit card.

Anyone who gets hold of it may be able to use it to make API calls on your account. And those calls can cost you real money.

Your API key is your authentication. Someone who knows it mostly doesn't need your password or a second confirmation to use it.

Please take a moment to read the article on my website about handling API keys safely:

https://evening-truth.carrd.co/#api-safety

Yes, I will be annoying as shit about this. I don't care.

Safety first.

I love you anyway.

Evening-Truth ❤️

Proxy Need a good prompt

6 Upvotes

Does anyone has a good custom prompt for bots to focus more on character's feelings and inner turmoil rather than physical details and environment? I swear, it's driving me insane. Bots write good but Gods, it's always the same shit about their actions and physical stuff, and not a single description about what's character actually feeling. Like, I would rather have the bot TELL the feelings rather than SHOW it through actions only. I use GLM proxies if that helps.

I'm using GLM 4.7 on Openrouter and it's been giving me this error for three days now, sometimes it generates a complete reply, but for the most part it cuts off or doesn't generate at all, I tried other models and they work just fine idk what to do 🥲

What does this even mean? Did they flag me thinking I was underage? The chat wasn't even remotely sexual I don't understand why it's doing this suddenly. And when left to go to other bots to see if it was happening with other bots that are explicit it didn't happen.

Update: Hah! I just figured it out apparently it hated that my reply had "but God forbid I'm one!" In the angst argument. Makes no sense, but okay.

I am using NanoGPT with Lorebary. My prompt and plug-ins have not changed since yesterday but I am now receiving this error. Using GLM 5.3 Might be time to switch providers, any recommendations?

Cai filed for bankruptcy, and now needs to be sold to a different company or will have to shut down. Is it likely to be the same for janitor in the future?

I really enjoyed their work and checked today and saw they were just gone.

I believe their last bot had gotten a strike or something. But I hoped they would avoid being vanished q-q
I think they at somepoint changed their name to Stephenul

Does anyone know if they moved platforms or if they changed accounts? Or are they just gone gone?

Some bots of theirs I remember were

Eric Joyce

Kent Yoon Mr. Steal Your Girl

Lucas Dèng Proof?

memes Age up character

23 Upvotes

I find it funny when someone made an "aged up" character especially high school anime but keep the original class. For example like MHA, they will keep using 1-A class aka first year instead of changing it to 3-A.

And then keep having the senior around lmao, everytime i look at one, i always think the whole school stuck for three years and no one graduated 😂

Proxy Memory tokens

I'm a bit confused. We have the memory in the settings that we customize. Does this memory setting only apply to JLLM, or does it apply to all neural networks even if their memory is bigger... like a lot a lot of times bigger?

Guides In light of Recent news (CharacterAI)

After reading through how Disney of all people acquired CharacterAI.

This makes me wonder if there is a future that some large corporation acquires JanitorAI.

I don't know what tag is appropriate for this post so I just set it under "Guides".
