It’s better now but I’m still not entirely happy with it, especially considering scrolling is one of the things that started it all. There is still a minuscule hitch sometimes when new cells appear, I get these in both the SmoothTable or the plain LazyVStack lists

Switching from UIColllectionView to UITableView using almost the same code seemed to help a bit, or at least got rid of the random flying view animations.

but for lists where I don’t need to maintain scroll position or insert cells at the top I still use the regular LazyVStacks
