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!

- User Rules: (https://legal.lemmy.world/fair-use/)
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-pluginandai-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.

If you open a generator in edit mode (i.e. with #edit at the end of the URL) then that button isn't shown. If you go out of edit mode and refresh, the button will appear.
No, the AI plugins will never be removed, never be paywalled, etc. I have noticed in some social media posts there's a weird anxiety around the AI stuff on Perchance going away, or being made a "premium" feature, or something. I want to very strongly reiterate: This will never happen. It's sustainable thanks to ads (+ a lot of work optimizing the load balancing server and GPU servers), and it's completely self-funded, so I don't have investors telling me to filter it, or try to make a profit, or whatever. The AI plugins will only ever get upgraded, and they'll always be free. If you come across other anxious people, please link them to this post.
(I'm guessing the fear comes mostly from seeing other "AI sites" shutting down, or doing a bait-and-switch by making it free for a while, and then charging once the site becomes popular, or adding a filter in order to attract investors, and stuff like that. Once you've been here for a while, you'll start to understand that Perchance is "weird" in a way that puts it in a completely different category from sites like that. Perchance is a "public good" that I maintain, not a "startup".)
I might have missed this? Please link me or share a bug report in a reply here. Edit: Ah, found in your post history - will read and reply to that post now.
