⚄︎ 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.

This update forcing a refresh every 60 seconds is really annoying. I think perchance is incredible, but, ESPECIALLY on mobile it's beyond obnoxious. The ad takes up 1/6 of my screen on mobile, and when I'm typing with the keypad brought up, I have like zero space to actually see what's being typed. Any way to make this less intrusive?

  1. Do you mean that it forces a refresh even when you're not blocking the ads?
  2. Do you mean that a recent update caused this? If so, when did it start happening? Which browser do you use, and do you have any browser extensions installed?

Any way to make this less intrusive?

The main way to make the ad smaller is for me to do more work optimizing the AI model inference/server code so they don't cost so much, but each time I do that I have a habit of upgrading the model to a more powerful one (or allowing more concurrent requests) and keeping the ad the same size to be able to fund it 🤷

btw there is a fullscreen button on /ai-chat if that's the generator you're talking about here. If you're talking about a specific generator you should specify that in your post, since perchance is a platform for making generators - there are many pages, and each one has its own interface.

For the AI chat generator-it only refreshes when I have an adblocker enabled-but this only appeared this week, I never had this occur before. Perhaps that's why it's so jarring. I mean I honstly don't know, your product is great and I understand you can't do this on your own dime. It's just annoying particularly on mobile, it seems to interfere with typing a bit too (maybe that's because my chat got too long)
