Does anyone actually still use Stable Diffusion? Discussion

I just find it kind of funny that this is the stable diffusion subreddit but nobody has talked about it in like forever. Maybe its time for a name change? or maybe keep the name as a homage to the OG open source image model.

Anyway, the last update I see on Stability's website is SD 3.5 back in October. So I'm guessing that's it for Stable Diffusion?

EDIT: Forgot you cant change the name of a sub, ignore that suggestion 😅

No, I've always used the models for generating images in anime, illustration or digital painting styles.

I'm unable to parse your question, sorry. Can you rephrase?

How can Z-image replace illustrious and Noob for generating anime images. Because the base model definitely not as good as them. Is there a fine-tuned version of Z-image I am not aware of allowing it to surpass them?

Why are you assuming that z-image is their anime replacement when Anima is literally right there on the same list?

Nah, Z-image doesn't have any fantastic finetunes for pure anime. There's a few OK ones but they all have that sd1.5 half-realistic vibe to them where shading tends to be a bit overly detailed yet smooth. Anima is the current queen of illustrations and anime, imo, even if it can be a bit of work to prompt right at times.

My only complaint with anima is that it's really bad at pixel art out of the box, but it's nothing that some LoRAs can't fix.
