⚄︎ 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.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

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.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

My Prompt Engineer's Story Generator keeps getting flipped to private. Anyone know why this happens, and how I can fix it?

i think the "sticky" part isn't really strong, ta least 50/50%, fix code works!

also collab link (usually no one use) has high(not always, but per-gen bound????) rate make a gen 100% auto-private.

also I think, I could be wrong, but there's a slow tagging bot slowly scanning gens???

so even without meaningful risky updates, some gens flip to private days even week later????

this sounds too sus to be true so might not be the real mechanism but I think there's a delay tagging there...?

It usually took a couple days for my gen to flip to private, though I wasn't really checking; I've decided to live with it, since most of my traffic seems to be coming from shared links, posted links, etc. I don't know if the occasional flips were due to my edits resaving the gen, or the slow bot hypothesis. If I wanted to check gens periodically, though, and wasn't catching them on edits, I'd put a slow bot on it....
