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.

Great Chats — conversations that actually make you think. 🏛️

Brand new on Perchance: an AI chat generator that skips the flattery and gives you real intellectual sparring partners.

What it does:

🗿 Talk to History — 30+ starter characters, from philosophers and scientists to writers and rulers (with some delightfully unserious ones under "New, Original, Less Serious")

🔍 Talk to an Expert — type any topic and it builds a composite expert from the field's leading voices, grounded on Wikipedia

🌐 Generate a character from any web page — turn a person, article, or persona into a chat companion

🛠️ Create New Character — full customization: personality, role, voice, avatars, categories

Why it's good:

Every character is an honest, questioning partner — they challenge your premises and demand precision instead of sycophantic agreement

Fully private — everything lives in your browser, free, no sign-up

Streaming replies, AI-generated images in chat, dark & light themes, settings

💾 Backup/restore your characters and export/import everything — you never lose a conversation

Active feedback channel, and it's made with real care (a prompt-engineered gen worth studying)

If you like your AI conversations with a spine instead of a yes-man, give it a try: perchance.org/great-chats

All you losers trolling through the posts, downvoting them without even reading them, grow a pair and tell us what you don't like about it.

Been seeing a lot of comments about posts being downvoted across the board. Maybe others don't want to know, but I've seen a few that have said the same thing. While I don't put much weight to the voting system, it is there for a reason, and when a post about improving something gets 10 downvotes, and no upvotes, the whole thing loses its meaning. Common problem.
