Fetches stories from Lobste.rs, the computing-focused
link-aggregation community, using its official public .json endpoints — no
key needed. Choose the hottest or newest feed, or filter by a tag (like
rust, security, programming), set a limit, and get back rich story
items: title, link URL and domain, score, flag count, comment count and
discussion URL, submitter, whether the submitter authored the story, all tags
and the submission date. Paginates automatically up to your limit.
Source: official public JSON API (lobste.rs/hottest.json, newest.json,
t/<tag>.json).
