⚄︎ 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!

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-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.

I'm about to give up... [flagging problem] (lemmy.world)

EDIT 08-nov-2026 — THANK YOU STAFF for implementing an info text pointing out the problems on the site! This is extremely helpful, and I will soon review the problematic points and ask for a review!

Original post — @perchance@lemmy.world

"If you think the review is wrong, please post on the forum..." ...where your post will be just ignored, not even to say "we're busy, we can review your site next month".

Please don't take me wrong, I do know that the 'staff' is probably a one-man staff who's already too busy setting up and maintaining the entire Perchance universe, and I can only be grateful for that. But enforcing such an over-strict flagging system that moreover doesn't give the faintest hint at what's wrong with the site probaby wasn't the best move, considering the lack of human resources.

I currently have one PG-13 stories site flagged as mature, and there's an extensive explanation why I feel the flag is unjust; and then I have a NSFW stories site completely blocked for reasons I do not know, and I've asked on the forum to unblock, to no avail.

It's sad, because I love the Perchance community, and I'm grateful for the powerful framework Perchance offers us for free, and I wanted to give something in return. I'm good at writing stories, and just wanted to offer them to the community, because I'm not the kind of person who feels comfortable at taking and taking without ever giving back anything.

Thank you anyway to the Perchance staff for the effort, the energy and the resources they put in this project. I truly appreciate it.

This moderation is absolutely ABSURD dystopian. I have a generator that has been gated for 18+ from the start. It has been slapped with a mature content gate. It's still accessible, but I was curious why it slapped me with a second gate. The AI Helper told me it's because 'explicit' is used in my gate. lmao, so apparently we're supposed to lie and have an opt-in gate that says '18+ to show petals', because if we're honest about what is behind the gate, you get slapped with a second gate for people being able to see that word. Insane.

I faced the same problem with my NSFW sites: I tried to put them behind a 18+ gate, but this wouldn't remove the Perchance gate; and having two gates one after another is silly, and also annoying for the users. So, I stuck with the Perchance gate and removed mine. As far as I understand, the Mature Content standard warning suggest — in order to remove the warning — to put any NSFW content behind a gate, but... it's a lie 😅. Well, it's not really a lie, as I recently learned (see above): in order to remove the 2-click "I'm adult" Perchance warning you should implement a true and effective age check, like VerifyMyAge, Yoty ID and similar 🤦
