Can you press F12 on your keyboard (or Ctrl+Shift+J at the same time) to open the browser console, to see if there are any red error messages there? And if there are, can you screenshot them?
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-plugin
andai-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.
There was a few...
Can you try logging in to Perchance and then doing the same thing again? From what I can tell, the above errors are mostly related to ads, which run in a separate 'sandbox' so it's not possible for them to be the cause of this. If you log in then there won't be ads, and we'll hopefully see more relevant messages.
Also, can you see something like the below image? If so, please screenshot that too.
It seems like it's getting stuck on one of those "load log" steps, and not making it to the final "load log: finished".
after logging in this is what I get
Thanks for your patience here 🙏 There'd normally be an error message shown, but it looks like it's just stopping at renderThreadList (the "PresentationRequest" error in your screenshot is not relevant here). I've just added some more logs, which should tell me where specifically within renderThreadList the error is occuring. If you can do exactly the same thing as the above screenshot again, that would be great! You should see:
renderThreadList called
renderThreadList: 1
renderThreadList: 2
renderThreadList: 3
...
And the number where it stops will help me narrow down the cause.
here you go and thank you for helping me (and possibly others).
Okay, that was helpful, thank you! New test: Can you try refreshing the page, and then waiting about 20 seconds to see if an "export data" button appears at the top of the screen? If so, click it, and let me know if you see any errors in the console (please screenshot if so), and whether it downloads a ai-character-chat-raw-export.cbor
file successfully (let me know file size if so). Please also open the console when it's exporting/downloading and screenshot if you see any errors.
the button was there, there were no errors but it never exported... it just stays loading
Okay, please try again now. You'll need to wait about 5 minutes. I've added some code that will hopefully download everything it can, instead of completely failing because there's some specific data that it can't get. And it takes a few minutes to "give up" on the data that it can't seem to get.
Please make sure you screenshot all the "downloadRawDb: ..." logs for me - I've added some important ones that I need to see to determine what the step after this is.
