Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator

⚄︎ 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.

  • As everyone noticed, the ai coding helper had to be downgraded to a worse model due to ballooning costs as more and more people use it - I didn't expect the ai helper to get this popular. I'm working on a way to get it back to a smarter model, which will bring back the visible thinking text. Unsure how long it'll take.

  • I'm still working on fixing text-to-image-plugin since the emergency downgrade ~4 months ago. Still unsure on ETA. It is harder than I expected (as usual), but I have made good progress.

  • I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but over the last couple of months I've been working a lot on comments plugin moderation systems. It's still very far from perfect, but seems to be much better than before at catching bad behavior, and it should also be better at not accidentally punishing benign behavior. So the report/flag button on comments should work better now. Please let me know (via lemmy post) if you or anyone else gets an undeserved ban or any other issues. Again, it's still far from perfect, and some aspects are easier to fix than others (mainly due to needing to run the moderation cheap enough to keep everything free), but I'll keep iterating on it.

Yes and I will definitely participate in that donation! Wish I could help the Perchance keep going with its spark.
