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.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Heads up that I just got a support message from the email provider I use saying that it has been suspended for suspected spamming.

This happened several months ago, and I added stronger IP-based rate limits which apparently fixed it. Probably spammers or people doing a DDoS-type attack (spamming signup requests for emails in big public email lists) for whatever reason. I've added more guards, which will hopefully fix it, but it may be a few days before they allow sending signup emails again 🫠 So we may get a bunch of posts on Reddit and Lemmy about not being able to sign up - just letting y'all know

@perchance

since I still haven't been approved for a lemy account to be able to create new posts/questions, I'm just gonna reply to this:

what's up with the RSS feeds?
i have a feed with a frequency set to every half hour (48) and none of my feed readers have received anything from in in almost 24 hours.

i know its hosted by glitch, which likes to just...put things to sleep. but shouldn't the frequency setting make it ping and wake up?

Oooooh, unfortunate. Yeah I'll keep an ear out and just let people know to try again in a few days.
