Research direction

Start by tracing how Redlib parses route paths and query parameters, then read the settings persistence and URL generation entry points. The issue gives an example URL with the desired settings, but does not identify relevant files or define which settings must be supported. Done means opening a link restores the requested settings in the same URL; check existing tests for routing and settings behavior.

Description

enhancement

Hi there,

so i use https://farside.link/ to open Redlib. This means i end up on a different Redlib instance frequently. Also i use private browsing, so no cookies are saved;

I'd like to have the possibility to open a link, and restore the settings in 1 url, for example, to open reddit.com/r/privacy and restore my Redlib settings:

https://redlib.privacyredirect.com/r/privacy/?theme=libredditDark&front_page=popular&layout=compact&wide=off&blur_spoiler=on&show_nsfw=on&blur_nsfw=on&hide_hls_notification=off&video_quality=best&hide_sidebar_and_summary=on&use_hls=off&autoplay_videos=off&fixed_navbar=on&disable_visit_reddit_confirmation=off&comment_sort=confidence&post_sort=hot&subscriptions=&filters=&hide_awards=off&hide_score=off&remove_default_feeds=on

If i understand correctly this is currently not possible yet?

Thank you!
