Description

Future idea would be to replace the "Fetching posts" text when there are no posts with a skeleton/shimmer state as we do in other places.

Research direction

Start in the Reader UI where the "Fetching posts" text is shown when there are no posts, then inspect the existing skeleton/shimmer states mentioned in the issue. Done means that loading state uses a skeleton or shimmer instead of the text; the issue names no files or tests.
