โ๏ธ 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.

MODERATORS
Are there any other options you possibly have? Sorry, I don't feel comfortable clicking on random links. ๐ I know you're just trying to help, I'm just too new to a lot of this stuff, so I just want to be careful.
Do you think it could just be my PC? Since it doesn't seem to be affecting anything else?
It might be your network, but not sure, which is why I was suggesting try the Cloudflare VPN. Have you tried turning on any VPN when generating?
Have you also tried changing your browser's DNS service? DNS is like the phonebook of your browser; it translates the URL to the correct IPs. By default, it would be using your IP's DNS, but you can change it to Google's or Cloudflare's DNS service in the browser settings. Maybe your IP service is flagging the Perchance domain as untrusted, which is why it is throwing those warnings.
It can also be in your PC, do you have any antivirus/web protection software installed and running? On my end, windows defender doesn't seem to flag it. Are you also maybe on a private network (i.e. work network/school network)?
I'll ping the Dev in case @perchance.
Can you also try navigating to the Network tab on the Developer Tools? Then try to click generate and see the request to the Perchance server. The name of the request should be
generate?userKey=...and please tell if there are any errors there.How many comments CAN YOU NEST???
ALL OF THEM! XD
more not spamming, just this one.
Soooo many things popped up but that was not one of them. It also seems Perchance does not like NordVPN or the other way around. Three errors popped up after hitting generate.
The
fastlane,cookie, andsyncseems to be for the advertisements that were added below the page, and on my end those requests were not throwing errors, and the number of requests happens to be fallbacks if one request didn't complete, they also request in an interval so it would pile up if the network logging is still open. One possibility is that since the ads cannot be added (due to the errors), then the AI cannot be used, since the AI is sustained by the advertisements.Are you able to DM me the console logs? On the console tab, you can right click and 'save as' and it would give a
.logfile. On the Network tab, you can also download the logs by clicking the download icon on the top, and it would be a.harfile. It would be good if you have the DevTools open, then click the 'generate' or use the AI of the page, then copy/save the logs.Have you also tried logging into your account in Perchance, this makes it so that Ads wouldn't be shown and would significantly remove all those ad requests.
Also this popped up in the console, it's different from the other errors I noticed.
Not even doing anything and I have over 500 requests in the network tab and it keeps going. Not used to coding, is that normal?
