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!

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.
- The full rules are posted here: (https://legal.lemmy.world/)
- 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-pluginandai-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.

It’s not Perchance, it’s Cloudflare. Perchance uses a Model with Cloudflare for Text Generation, but the Image Model it’s hosted locally where the website is. Cloudflare has been having issues with the AI Workers and Turnstile since July 4th. It’s an unfamiliar “break”, where no one knows where it is— everything is just going offline randomly. Even challenges.cloudflare.com was down for half the day and that alone verifies half the internet. I couldn’t even login to Perchance earlier because the challenges.cloudflare.com was offline so it refused to connect to Server.
Perchance has been working his ass off on new updates over the past few days (I’m a daily user who’s been with Perchance for years), this is NOT typical maintenance behavior and I figure Perchance is offline today because it’s out of their control OR possibly trying to design a workaround.
Rest assured, Perchance has vowed to run the Services indefinitely, the issue will be resolved soon enough— even if they need to take the Text Model on their Server. He’ll figure something out. He always does.
Just be patient. 😊
Personally, I’m going crazy without Perchance today. 😭
Definitely needs some appreciation. I just learned it’s one guy doing the whole thing. I cannot imagine how hard something like that would be but it can’t be easy. And I know some appreciation goes a long way. But glad to know it’s not the end and more of what’s going on. Hope they see some love come their way soon.
I think we should give him a hand. Since most of the users here have some programming knowledge, let's step up and help manage things as admins or staff so he can get some well-deserved rest.
I think there is nothing we could do to help in this case if its cloudflare thats acting up its on them not the person or people maintaining perchance. Want to bet that cloudflare has most its people non on weekend working on it.
All systems back online, everyone. Enjoy! 😊
I'm not surprised, as I've had so many issued with Cloudflare on and off for years. I didn't know Cloudflare was somehow involved here.
i know nothing about clouds, codes and all that. I'm literally just a user. When something on my Computer breaks, i start yelling at it. That usually doesn't solve a thing but i do it anyways because i know, yelling at it doesn't damage it. In the past i was beating on my Computer lol. If i can't figute the issue out, i just buy a new one. I didn't want to come across as demanding or offensive. Just wanted to get some information my stupid brain can process. The question of who is working on it was just to know who to look for, and send some "love" their way, via Kofi or whatever... just a token of appreciation. :)
Well, at least we know what's going on! Thx!
I just took a dive onto this clam and can confirm this since Jun 16, 2026, 8:02 AM MDT, Cloudflare has been having problems with some ai models and unfortunately the text ai plug-in for perchance fell into it as one of them. They didn't seam to have posted any updates in the last two weeks, ive spent hours trying to track how long this is been going on but this is about as far as I can find problems digging on many forms
