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.

After running it for months, i have these opinions:

  • The amount and frequency of people asking for prompting tips of both forums combined is really not forumbreaking. It's like 1 or 2 a week. That was the initial reason Casual Perchance was made, because people could not talk about prompts here, but IMO 1 or 2 posts per week involving prompts is not forumbreaking. So I think that rule should again be looked at and this time removed.

  • Because most other things have more visibility here, there is otherwise no real reason to post on or browse Casual Perchance EXCEPT community events.

  • the monthly image challenge is doing great and people are having fun with it as you can see if you go to it thru this link or thru the hub or generators page.

  • running the monthly image challenge on the main perchance forum is no where near clogging it with spam as it is one post per month. even when ai text is finetuned and we are running an ai text challenge alongside it, that's still minimal as far as clogging the forum with posts.

So, imo, the 'no prompt info' rule should be repealed here. You should give me mod here so I can continue running events here. Community Events should be run on this forum. And Casual Perchance disbanded.

is my opinion. what do you all think?

I think it's great. Dividing is for clutter and cram, but it seems there's not enough activity in both places.
