⚄︎ 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.

I wonder if there is away to recover prompts from removed generators (lemmy.world)

One of the text-to-image generators I used a lot just got removed and I had some good prompts on it that I would like to try and recover from it's "notes" section so I can reused them on other ones.

The only thing I have left of the generator are several images I saved and it's link (that now no longer works) https://perchance.org/behind-my-scenes-and-others, it would be nice to get those prompts back and save them in an offline text file since I had most of those almost perfect.

hi. ok so i just scrolled thru recent gens until finding one built on, i believe, the same framework, duplicated it, and changed its url to fill the spot of the missing gen. u should now be able to go to that url and it will be a different gen but still have a note section and your notes should be there.

[–] LazerRay@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It worked, I was able to copy all of the notes from there and put them in an offline text file to use again.

I will need to keep backups of my prompts for a bunch of generators I like as a fail-safe from them getting removed.

if that doesnt work, was the original gen based on a different framework? the notes are stored in your browser, so there are also more complex ways to retrieve them if none of this works
