[Question] Why scrolling down a long feed causes the app to become slow ? (lemm.ee)

I know it isnt exclusive to Connect, i noticed it too on other social media apps like facebook (don't judge me xd), and its the same effect: app start to slow scroll when reaching old posts from months ago or even years ago. Could extra ram help circumvent this ? my phone has 4gb ram, i am planning on upgrading for a phone that uses 8gb of ram+8gb of swap, would that help in this case ? thanks.

I'm running Connect on a Galaxy Fold 4, which... is a fairly decent hardware. It runs smoothly, but some animation is still choppy or scrolling can be sometimes choppy.

also, I'm developing a flutter app, it's a frontend for online gallery, and scrolling through the thumbnails is already choppy in it. pretty sure one can take extra measures to reduce the choppyness, but by default it is how it is. having a flutter app that runs 60FPS is something that flutter devs are proud of, which is a bit funny IMO.

tech could also have its limitations, i guess
