Sorry for the super late reply, but I think I finally figured out why the app is stuttering.

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.

NATO’s Article 5 was invoked only once, by the US. Trump had the audacity to insult (former?) allies and deny that ever happened.

I think it’s great no one wants to join his unsanctioned war.

You can’t just say that and not provide the album’s name

I switched and I’m still experiencing the issue described by OP. I also cleared app data and it kind of helped, but when I logged back in the stuttering came back.

I live in Europe, so I often read coverage in my own language, which means Trump’s quotes are translated. Translators could easily smooth out the grammar and make him sound coherent, but they don’t. They clearly put effort into preserving not just the meaning, but also the tone and sheer incoherence. You end up with these translations that capture the rambling, the aggression, and the stupidity, just in another language.

I never would have bought a Pixel if it weren’t for GrapheneOS. It was literally the only selling point for me.

What was your girlfriend’s reaction?

Did my part and signed, I hope it reaches the required threshold

Cheers to many more years!
