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.
We need you in my QA department.
Lemmy
first try on open board with gboard swipe type
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: 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
Worth pointing out that openboard doesn't support gesture typing. The fork I believe @tubbadu@lemmy.kde.social is talking about is:
https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/releases/tag/v1.4.5-gesture-typing
I use this one.
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".
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 ͡°)
Lenny Lemmy (on AnySoftKeyboard)
Lemmy
I deleted "Kenny" and now it seems to do it fine if I double boop the M.
Lenny
Kelly
Swipe for lemmy works fine here, but I've tap-typed it a lot.
My attempts: Kent Lenny Lemmy Lenny Lemmy lemmy.

Ok you win
lemme lemmy lemmy lemmy lemmy, yeah seems like it works for me.
Works here. I can never get it to swipe type "Mastodon" though.
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.
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.
