⚄︎ 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.

[Suggestion] /upload formatting. (self.perchance)

Dear Perchance Dev,

I would like to make a request to be able to format the files' links and names at /upload.

Currently, it displays them as: ${file_name} → ${file_url} (${file_size}) 📋 copy url ❌ delete however, I need to be able to format them as: ${file_name} /* without the extension */ = ${file_url} /* including 'https://' */.

The reason for this is because of the new custom emoji feature at the comment's plugin.

I could have made this suggestion sooner, but I did not because I had my own method to format them, however I know there are many people who will be needing this formatting method. That is because of this:

As you can see, I have an absurd amount of links, and formatting them one by one would not be efficient.

For that reason, I would like a formatting method at /upload.

  • EDIT: I believe the most flexible and powerful formatting options would be to take user input formatting in a text manner, for example a user could input; ${file_url} which would only display the URL. And this could be curated to their own needs.

Thanks! Done. Let me know if you have any troubles with it. (Also, I haven't forgotten about your other suggestions - e.g. AI bots/characters that live in your comments box, but please feel free to ping the threads once a week or so to keep it moving up my todo list - same goes for you @[email protected], @[email protected], and others. I've been keeping up with reading your suggestions here - I'm just slow on replies as usual. Pings on old threads that I haven't got to yet are very welcome.)
