Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If you have a lot of public circles, loading the list can take really long. On a instance I tried it, it can take up to 30 seconds. During this time the user just sees:

The exact same as if no circles exists.

Describe the solution you'd like

A indicator that the list of circles is still loading, e.g. a spinner and or a text "loading circles..."

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the circles list UI and the request that loads public circles, then run the relevant frontend checks while reproducing a slow load. Done means the list visibly indicates loading until the request finishes, rather than appearing empty.
