Description
ref: p5T066-47C-p2#comment-14973
Expected Behavior
When installing/logging into the app for the first time and going to the Reader Discover tab, the posts list should just show a loading state while loading.
Actual Behavior
When installing/logging into the app for the first time and going to the Reader Discover tab, the posts list is replaced with an "Empty" state that says there are no posts available.
Steps to reproduce
- Fresh install the app
- Login to an account that follows some sites/tags
- Navigate to the reader tab
- ⚠️ Notice that for the moment it shows that there are no posts and prompts the user to follow topics

Research direction
Reproduce the first-install flow by logging in, opening Reader, and selecting the Discover tab. Trace the Discover posts loading and empty-state handling; done means the posts list remains in a loading state until the followed posts or an actual empty result is available.
