Description

When any of the _Home_, _Projects_ or _Explore_ pages get activated, a `BusyIndicator` is shown while the projects list is populated.
If I try to switch page, eg from _Home_ to _Projects_, while the `BusyIndicator` is displayed, the following two unwanted things happen:
1. I have to wait for the projects to be fetched and displayed before the page switch is actually done
2. Once the page is changed and while the projects are fetched/list is being populated the `BusyIndicator` is _**not visible**_

This is apparent mostly on slow networks
Tested on android 11 and Linux

Research direction

Start by tracing activation and project-list population for the Home, Projects, and Explore pages, focusing on the BusyIndicator behavior. Reproduce the switch during a slow fetch on Android or Linux. Done means page navigation completes without waiting for the fetch and the BusyIndicator remains visible while the list is populated.
