Can anyone here get Gboard to gesture type "Lemmy"? (self.asklemmy)

No matter what I do, it's like Gboard is specifically avoiding it. It'll instantly learn any bullshit word I make up like "aprifnid" but can't type "Lemmy". I suspect shenanigans.

Is that a privacy focused alternative? Where's the APK?

Worth pointing out that openboard doesn't support gesture typing. The fork I believe @[email protected] is talking about is:

https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/releases/tag/v1.4.5-gesture-typing

I use this one.

This is the official package that is now unmaintained, I use the fork of one of the original devs: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

It supports adding an external swipe type library, and sadly the only working one is the gboard one, that works like a charm however

It is not on fdroid (yet), so you can install it manually or using obtainium
