[paste.sr.ht](https://paste.sr.ht) is an ad-hoc text file hosting service on
sr.ht.
+# Getting Started
+
+Pastes can be created by simply entering in the file contents on the front page
+(when logged in). They can be optionally given a filename for easier
+identification. Existing pastes created by you can be accessed via the
+link on the sidebar.
+
+To view the raw contents of a paste, use the "View raw" link at the top. This
+allows for the paste to be downloaded using a tool like `wget` or `curl`.
