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.
I deleted “Kenny” and now it seems to do it fine if I double boop the M.
I suspect shenanigans.
I seriously doubt that google gives the slightest shit about Lemmy, and if they did give a shit they would absolutely use more meaningful “shenanigans” than stopping you from swipe-typing the word 🙄🙄🙄
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!
Right? Like fuck Google and all, but can you imagine how many absurdities would have to have happened in order for it to be blocked?

Lemmy
lemme lemmy lemmy lemmy lemmy, yeah seems like it works for me.
Works for me. Make sure you scribble on the M while you’re over it.
Lenny Lemme Lemmy, got it :D
Works here. I can never get it to swipe type “Mastodon” though.
Lemmy
Nope for me it works, I’m using the openboard fork with gesture typing
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.
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.

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
