⚄︎ 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.

Adding admin-privileged user ID into bannedUsers of the Comments Plugin

Just found another interesting "bug" similar to the generatorName override. I tried "banning" an admin user (which is myself) from the comments of my hub page by adding the ID into the bannedUsers list and got some bizarre effects. When I re-visited my hub page, the admin comments were hidden, but I could still comment. And after a refresh, weirdly, they showed up. But in a private window, they're hidden.

@perchance I've also done the same with the-generator-hub-collection, and it yielded even weirder results. The admin comments didn't even hide, and I was still able to comment, even if I refreshed the page multiple times.

Have any of you tried this similar approach before?

You can always see and send messages, regardless if you are banned or blocked by someone.

@VioneT Oooh, didn't know that, I think that when you got banned, you can't comment anymore (same with this: https://lemmy.world/post/10020271) 😁

That might be due to some VPNs spamming the comments (not sure what happened there).

@VioneT Basically, Cocell's IP was flagged for spamming comments on a chat, but now for some reason he can comment on a filtered (non-feedback) chat (like mine). Probably got a new IP that's unblocked, just like my case when the main IP of my home router resets to a new one that's unblocked, so I could now comment.
