There is a Perchance community on, IIRC, the db0 instance. Perhaps that is why you have been led here.

I clicked on something, related to the perchance@lemmy.world I think, and that made me more confused and wonder if the two were somehow related.

To add on, someone can make a new community (“subreddit”) on an instance (“server”) (lemmy world, db0, etc) and name it whatever they want, including the same exact name as a community on another instance. So there may be more than one c/perchance. And to make it more confusing, instance eowners choose if they want to federate (connect) nto other instances. This allows different instances to see and comment on each other’s posts, but instance owners can also choose to defederate from instances they disagree with at a core level. Lemmy. World is the one most reddit expats chose in 2023. It doesn’t really matter which you’re on, but you may eventually want to join an community hosted on a non-federated instance. You’ll either need a new account elsewhere and start over or just use a dedicated account there. There’s no karma here, so not a whole lot to lose with a fresh start, aside form rebuilding your subs

Much like reddit, people can just make communities on whatever topic, and they are largely open to anyone with an account on their server, or on any of the many servers connected to it. Someone on Perchance must have a community on lemmy.world that they are directing people to for discussion. I don’t think there’s any connection beyond that.
