⚄︎ 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.

A cheer up post for admin (lemmy.world)

Hi there @[email protected],

Saw one of your posts in here and thought I'd give you a little cheer.

For what it's worth, you're making a big difference with Perchance, and you should not beat yourself up for lagging behind in terms of latest technologies. Perchance for me personally was the first place where I've delved into the world of AI generation that didn't limit me in terms of creativity. Thanks to you I've gotten to know a bit more about Stable Diffusion and prompting in general. This was a kickstart to explore it further. Without perchance I would have probably just shrugged the whole AI generation thing off and called it a day.

Thanks to you and perchance, I've found a community that I talk to this day. It's been more than a year now. And this is, my man, something for you to be proud of. You created something that connects people. The comments plugin comes with its own challenges and creepy people, but this is an absolute killer feature that distinguishes perchance from other AI platforms. Real time communication while generating is a unique and amazing way to connect with others. Forum posts just don't cut it today, because everyone is used to instant messaging these days.

Don't listen to people who complain about perchance being horribly out of date. These people don't know what they're talking about. They didn't lay a finger to improve perchance in any way. Pulling off a project like perchance is not an easy feat. Not to mention that you do this voluntarily, and it costs nothing for us. Take all the time you need, and take pride in your work - because it does makes a difference.

Hugs from furry generator, Perp

I agree completely. First post of mine on this forum, but I'll say that Perchance AI Character Chat has become a hobby of mine now. I always had a passion for storytelling, and when I found ACC, I was immediately hooked on how I had the freedom to make the settings and stories that were always on my mind.

Not only that, but they also became reactive, living worlds that are so nice to explore and immerse myself into. Lately, I've got even more interested and finally went to have a look at the code. As a programmer IRL, I try to improve and add features to it on a separate, personal fork that hopefully also has things of interest to others.

I've also made guides and other things for it because I enjoy seeing other people using it and having fun as well.

I want to thank you so much for the amazing work on Perchance and AI Character Chat! Do not let the rage and frustration of some people dishearten you.
