How would I show related blog posts based on the blog post category? and exclude the current post?

I tried the below in my post.php, but it always shows the 3 same ones (they seem to be random, but it's the same 3 everytime and I can't see why it's those 3).

And I know I'm stretching, but is there a way to show completely random posts if there are only 2 or fewer posts from that category?

PHP

<?php
perch_blog_custom([
'filter' => '!postSlug',
'sort-order'=>'RAND',
'template'=>'homepage_post_in_list',
'count'=>3,
'category' => $cat_slugs,
]);
?>

Here's an older post I wrote about this. It's from a few years ago but the code still works on my site.
