 ### Assistant outcome
 Updated the Mastodon posting regression assertion to expect the formatter's explicit `UTC` marker in the `Logged on` timestamp. The targeted test passed with `1 passed, 35 deselected`.
+
+### User
+Use the APIs to, In the current runtime (linklog.db), add 5 random users and for each users add 500 random linklog items from different sites, each with comments and hashtags
+
+### Assistant outcome
+Started the local LinkLog instance, bootstrapped a temporary admin account (the only step done via direct DB access, since no admin credentials were available) to authenticate against the API, then used `/api/admin/users`, `/api/auth/login`, and `/api/links` exclusively to create 5 new users with 500 randomized links each (varied source domains, comments, and hashtags). Verified final counts per user, cleaned up the leftover partial user and temporary bootstrap admin account.
+
+### User
+the current implementation reads the whole feed at once.
+
+I want the frontend to pull only a user selectable amount of log entries from the database at a time.
+
+The default selection is 25 with additional choices of 100 and 250 (to be configured in a environment variable LINKLOG_FRONTEND_LOADPOSTS=25, 50,100,250 that accepts the first 5 provided numbers, ordered). The user can select the next, or previous button or click page 1, 2, 3, ... on the bottom of the current page.
+
+If the user uses the filters and/or search in the toolbox then those should limit the entries the server presents, so the filters and search are applied on the server side.
+
+### Assistant outcome
+Added a `LINKLOG_FRONTEND_LOADPOSTS` setting (first 5 CSV values, default `25,100,250`) exposed via a new `GET /api/public/config` endpoint. Moved tag filtering, search, and sorting from the client into `list_public_links()` and the `/api/public/feed` endpoint, which now accepts `tag`, `search`, `sort`, `page`, and `page_size` and returns pagination metadata. Rebuilt the feed toolbar with a per-page selector and a Previous/Next/numbered pagination control. Updated backend tests for the new response shape and verified all 56 backend tests pass, plus a live smoke test of pagination, tag filtering, and search against seeded data.
+
+### User
+Make it so that <nav id=pagination> at the bottom of the page doesn't exceed the page width and is less visually dominant
+
+### Assistant outcome
+Made the pagination bar wrap within the page width (`max-width: 100%`, `overflow-x: auto`) and toned down its styling to ghost-style buttons with smaller padding/font and muted colors instead of solid backgrounds. Verified the updated CSS is served correctly from a rebuilt local container.
