⚄︎ 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.

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.

Here is a FAQ for the AI tools in Perchance.

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?"

There are guides, tutorials, and resources on the internet that can be applied when prompting in the AI tools in Perchance.

  • If you didn't find anything about your problem there, feel free to search through the posts/articles here:
  • If you can't still find anything related to your problem, feel free to post a thread here.
    • Please title your post effectively.
    • Please provide a link to your generator with your attempts of solving the problem.
    • Try to explain what you want it to do and what example output it should be doing.

@Alllo Hello from the Casual Perchance community.

When I post about an edited image on your community, I deemed that was fine, but then I got permanently banned from the site. I was giving up because I had only a Mastodon account to post things there. Alas, I might not be able to have access to that account for a few days, even if it gets unbanned.

Just woke up this morning and found that my Lemmy account does, and I was even appointed as a mod to that community. Really a magic. 🤯

@[email protected] wow how wierd! also i love your edited image. it is very cool. I wonder why you got permanently banned. That is so strange. As an admin you can see the modlog there and i just scrolled thru it and no one there permabanned you. i wonder what happened! everything is ok now though? Are any of your accounts still weirdly blocked from anything?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

@Alllo My account got banned at the time the post was made, around 8 hours ago as of this comment. Everything seems to be okay, apart from me deciding to take a break from that account for a few days until I got to work with it again.

And thankfully my Mastodon account has never been gotten blocked from any instance until now.

I looked to the modlog on your instance, and saw that you were reinstated. It was an 'Automod' bot that banned you, but it was reverted now @BluePower.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

@VioneT I see, I've checked the modlog more and more and I found that there has been some Lemmy accounts from various instances who were also banned by the automod and then got unbanned shortly after.
