The way we currently handle loading in Reader's lists can be improved, and we want to use shimmer effect instead.

Research direction
Start by reading the Reader loading implementation and the context in pull request #19081, especially the linked comment. Identify how lists currently show loading states and replace that presentation with a shimmer effect. Done means Reader lists consistently display the shimmer while their content loads, with existing behavior preserved afterward.
