💡 Feature request: Display [Custom Number] of Links Per Page

[gfolgert]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Redlib currently forces a default number of posts per page. I am frustrated when I cannot limit my feed to smaller, manageable chunks to prevent endless scrolling.

Describe the feature you would like to be implemented

Please add a "Display [Custom Number] of Links Per Page" setting that lets users define exactly how many posts load before paginating (e.g., setting it to 10 in my case).

Describe alternatives you've considered

I currently rely on old.reddit.com daily specifically because it natively supports this feature. Was considering writing a browser extension script to help with this.

Additional context / screenshot

This directly mirrors the "display [number] of links at once" feature found in old.reddit.com's preferences. Adding this would be a massive quality-of-life upgrade for classic UI users migrating to Redlib.

This doesn't look like too much work - according to Reddit's documentation it's a matter of passing the limit parameter (defaults to 25, maximum of 100 posts) in the query. I'll play around with the code for a bit at some point (note: may take some time due to Real Life™).

Edit: Turns out this wasn't too hard to do after all. I've opened a PR with the requested changes. Keep in mind that I plan to make a fork of Redlib with this change and a few others, including some other open PRs.

@Sparronator9999 No rush, appreciate ya! 😁🙏

@gfolgert I've made a few more changes to the PR to tidy up the UX a little. The only remaining issue I can think of is that values configured via the environment variable (REDLIB_DEFAULT_POSTS_PER_PAGE) will be silently clamped to between 1 and 100 if an out of range value is given. I've tested the PR, and it works correctly on my end.
