I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.61 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Migration from a Mastodon account to a snac one has been implemented. Please see snac(8) (the administrator manual) for more information.

Mastodon API: fixed timelines/public (it was showing less posts that it should).

Fixed over-zealous caching to the public timeline.

Some HTML tweaks and fixes to the web interface.

An interesting musical curio is Sting's original demo for Every Breath You Take (he turned up to Synchronicity sessions with fully-formed demos of most of his stuff; the bellwether for the end of The Police).
