Bug Report

Describe the issue: UI becomes noticeably laggy and stutters when browsing content from Lemmy.zip. This occurs even when not logged into an account.

The app runs smoothly when logged out and connected to other instances, using identical settings.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Reinstall the app or clear all data
2. Open the app
3. Switch instance to Lemmy.zip
4. Scroll the feed

Expected behavior: Smooth scrolling and responsive UI

Actual behavior: Frequent stuttering and lag during scrolling

Issue appears tied to instance-specific performance or how responses from Lemmy.zip are handled by the app.
