⚄︎ 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.

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.

I found this site by accident (glad I did). perchance able to make a lot of images as I described. I am a bit disappoint as we cannot create a video with AI and the image we picked from perchance. I used Grok with perchance's image to make it a video and it is amazing but limited number of uses per day. So I wonder how old is it? Will they develop ai video? reedit the image we selected? what else will we expect from it? Where can I read devs' news, announcement and others. TIA

perchance was founded somewhere in 2017 or 16 but had no ai support until 2022 or 2023 . back then it was just a site were you could make and sare random text generators that were quite simplistic. but it was owned by the same guy most of that stuff is still on the site .when i started using it in 2024 the image generation was way worse. before 2016 the perchance org was owned by the green party of Ontario in Canada in 2013. and some german it company in 2009. right now ai video ganeration requires powerful hardware and judging from how bad the competition is and the fact that anything uncensored will have to deal with obstacles the censored ones don't have to deal with. it will probably take a few years i do believe it will come eventually but not soon maybe in 2030 or later
