Provide a "lite" version of the main feed.

There is a divided view about the amount of images one sees on the main image feed.

Many people are not happy that some image makers post 20 images “massive” posts that “blocks out” other images.

On the other hand, many image makers feel that there can be many good images in a single post, and they cannot predict which images in the post other people will actually like.

Both views are valid, so I propose a solution that should please both camps.

Basically, let people have an option to view a “lite” version of the main feed. This feed will only pick out a maximum, say 3 or 4 images out of any single post. The best way is probably to pick the first 2 and the last 2 of each set. This is due to the fact that currently, in a model gallery, Civitai seems to display the images in “reverse order”, but sometimes that order is reversed (which seem to depend on the size of the browser window.) So many have chosen to hedge their bet by making what they perceive as their best images in the post set at the beginning, at the other end of each post set.

This of course will not fix the problem of some people (mostly new users who just joined) to post single image posts to gain maximum exposure. My own way to deal with them is to just block them out completely with “Hide content from this user”, but that is bothersome. For this, I would suggest that Civitai build an algorithm to detect such behavior and send an automatic warning to tell such users to stop doing it.
