Jcrabapple 🦃<p>Hey there! For those new to DMV.Community or Mastodon in general, I can also be found in a few other places and I run some other services.</p><p>I run a <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/Pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Pixelfed</span></a> instance for photo sharing at <a href="https://pixtagram.social" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">pixtagram.social</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>. My account there is <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://pixtagram.social/jcrabapple" class="u-url mention">@<span>jcrabapple@pixtagram.social</span></a></span> .</p><p>I run a <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/GoToSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a> instance called The Shrediverse at <a href="https://shrediverse.net" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">shrediverse.net</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>. It&#39;s like a lightweight Mastodon that you can use with most Mastodon clients. This instance is generally music-focused and anyone can join. I have an account there <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://shrediverse.net/@jcrabapple" class="u-url mention">@<span>jcrabapple@shrediverse.net</span></a></span> where I share music-related stuff.</p><p>I have a personal blog at <a href="https://cool-as-heck.blog" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">cool-as-heck.blog</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> and a music blog at <a href="https://blog.shrediverse.net" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">blog.shrediverse.net</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>. I haven&#39;t been very good about updating them lately but I&#39;m trying to be better about it. 😄 </p><p>I also maintain two Mastodon frontends that anyone can use: <a href="https://elk.dmv.community" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">elk.dmv.community</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> and <a href="https://phanpy.dmv.community" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">phanpy.dmv.community</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>.</p><p>If you&#39;d like to donate to support hosting costs for DMV.Community you can do so at my Kofi page: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/jcrabapple" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ko-fi.com/jcrabapple</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Peace, love, and tacos 🌮</p>

Jcrabapple 🦃<p>If you would like to donate to support the cost of the DMV.Community server, it is not necessary but greatly appreciated. Costs will of course increase as we grow and I will provide transparent updates around that. Every little bit helps and is much appreciated. I can&#39;t do it without you guys!</p><p>One-time/Recurring Donations:</p><p>Kofi - <a href="https://ko-fi.com/jcrabapple" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ko-fi.com/jcrabapple</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Jcrabapple 🦃<p>Next, I&#39;ll make an OMG.lol pastebin shortcut for the HTTP Shortcuts app on Android.</p>
Jcrabapple 🦃<p>For anyone who uses the omg.lol pastebin, here&#39;s a Greasemonkey script to send highlighted text to a new paste with a Ctrl + Shift + P keyboard shortcut. It uses the URL of the current page as the title but that can of course be changed.</p><p><a href="https://paste.lol/jcrabapple/gm_omg_lol_pastebin" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paste.lol/jcrabapple/gm_omg_lo</span><span class="invisible">l_pastebin</span></a></p>
