Can anyone here get Gboard to gesture type "Lemmy"?

Lemmy

Nope for me it works, I’m using the openboard fork with gesture typing

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

This is the official package that is now unmaintained, I use the fork of one of the original devs: 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

Worth pointing out that openboard doesn’t support gesture typing. The fork I believe @tubbadu is talking about is:

github.com/erkserkserks/…/v1.4.5-gesture-typing

I use this one.

Lines in italics were typed, lines not in italics were swiped, bold was swiped then selected from the suggested word list. It took a little bit but I managed to train it to do it.

Are you that naive? Why are you defending Google anyway? Google most definitely has a backdoor filter to block FOSS and communist apps like Lemmy and fediverse in general. I also tested Gboard and I can’t gesture type Lemmy. This is proof Google is doing some shenanigans. And I challenge you to try it yourself, stop shilling Google dude!

Just to confirm you’re not crazy, I tried the standard method of adding a word by manually typing ‘lemmy’ and then tapping the same word on the suggestion bar, which didn’t work.

Tested adding other nonsense words like treypses which worked as expected for swyping, but to get Lemmy to work I had to add Lemmy in Gboard’s personal dictionary

Worked for me after about 3 uses.

Adding to the various dictionaries didn’t work for me, but this guy’s suggestion did! lemmy.world/comment/6948861

2nd attempt.

Lemmy

First! And I actually did quite poor…

JWBananas, 11 months ago

Works for me. Make sure you scribble on the M while you’re over it.

Mango, 11 months ago

Is that a thing? I’ve noticed better results with some words when I make sure I make a hard turn or pause on a letter.

JWBananas, 11 months ago

Both are indeed things.

Works here. I can never get it to swipe type “Mastodon” though.

Mango, 11 months ago

Mastodon

First try.

I’ve learned that pausing a bit on letters helps and also extending a bit further past the ones on the ends.

My first try yielded “Kelly” but was about to get “Lemmy” on my second try. I recommend trying to touch the space to the right of the “L”.

Mango, 11 months ago

Lemmy

Holy shit, it worked!! Took 3 tries though.

I can’t really try because I’ve set up the lemmyface to show up whenever I type lemmy by swiping. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
