With further experimentation, it seems especially pronounced with quick flicks of your thumb or finger. Feeder interprets a quick flick as a slow one, that tapers off very quickly.
Other apps seem to interpret a quick flick the same as a longer one, and let it momentum scroll for a long time.
In my own newly discovered behavior I find I actually often do quick flicks, then hold my thumb on the screen to brake the movement once I get where I want. This doesn't work with Feeder.
Feeder doesn't set a specific momentum. It uses the default in Jetpack Compose, which is the new standard way of writing Android apps which many still have not adopted.
I'm not even aware of if it's possible to modify it.

Feature or improvement you want
Momentum scrolling feels like it's tapering off much faster than in other apps. You can't really flick the text upwards to quickly scroll toward the end. I suggest making the momentum scrolling persist longer.
Why should this be added?
In my limited experience of other apps I have (firefox, chrome, Mastodon clients, Asahi reader app, Antenna pod etc.) they all have a longer (and similar) lingering momentum setting, and it would be good, I think, if Feeder was more consistent with what seems to be a fairly widely adopted behavior.
With the current setting I expect Feeder to behave similarly to other apps, and I get a bit thrown off when it doesn't. Consistency is valuable in UX.
