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.

Hi @perchance@lemmy.world, any status update for the Perchance website? Some of the generators seem to be down, as well https://perchance.org/generators. I know you were migrating servers but I just wanted an update on the status of the website. Quite a bit of people were noticing some of the bugs and instability from the website.

UPDATE: Everything seems to be back to normal but the image generator is still not working properly...It keeps saying failed: fetch failure...

I've been experiencing the same thing, and also it seems I can't log in on Perchance.... Says "there was a problem connecting to the server ¯_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯ check your internet connection?" My internet connection is excellent, I bet it's also a server-side issue, like the generators being down.

Yeah, I think some people are defiantly going through the same things like us. I never logged in so I haven't experienced that issues yet...Yup, that sounds about right. So I'm figuring it has something to due with the servers (bruh moment). Yeah, they always be saying check your internet like bruh my internet is fine your the issue, not my internet! Yeah 100% server issues...hopefully the dev can get back running up in no time...Like some if not many of the generators are broken because of this...I wish the dev made some sort of announcement /update post(s)...
