url path for custom lexer

Hi there 👍🏻
I find dpaste interesting, cause it provides an API to upload stuff from the command line.
I am puzzled, why you would default to the Python lexer, as I think this prevents adoption.
(I know it is defaulting to whatever you used last, and this is not really going to help. I work with a lot of newbies, and for them its a an extra step, that may confuse them.)
May I suggest to have something like dpaste.org/plain to differentiate via a link?
Hello there 👋,
I am puzzled, why you would default to the Python lexer, as I think this prevents adoption.
Because it has been that way since 2009- on a serious note dpaste is used primarily by python/django dev's hence the default being Python.
https://paste.mozilla.org/ for example, 2nd largest public installation uses JavaScript as the default
May I suggest to have something like dpaste.org/plain to differentiate via a link?
Actually might be better if there is text.dpaste.org defaulting to Plain Text, it will use the same database as the primary dpaste.org instance. (That way text.dpaste.org/abcd will show the exact same content as dpaste.org/abcd)
Let me know what you think 🙂
Yeah, I actually suggested this at first, and then edited it cause I thought its a stupid idea for some reason 😄
Thanks a lot
Did you think, how this is optimally exposed to the user?
Maybe on the homepage directly?
And I just noticed, the drop down menu on that subdomain has none of the other syntaxhighlighter now.
The coding highlighters are all gone.
Now its broken completely.
Sorry, the configuration was gone; https://status.darrennathanael.com/incidents/n79sdqq5pp2n
I'll re-configure it today

I've fix this issue as well, https://text.dpaste.org/
Thanks a ton, solved.
Sorry, it doesnt work with the API:
curl -F 'format=url' -F 'content=<-' https://text.dpaste.org/api/

Do you know, why this aligns on the left now?
Should I open a new issue?
