I've been using FUTO Keyboard and I'm very happy with it so far. EDIT: It's not FOSS but the source code is available and you are allowed to copy/modify it, just not to make money from it. That's good enough for me.
Damn it's not FOSS? Time to jump ship
I use Fcitx5 for its Chinese language support.
Preference for AnySoftKeyboard.
Why is there so many censored posts about keyboard apps?
Heliboard which is an active fork of OpenBoard.
I've been using it for a while. It does most that gboard does, but the predictions aren't as good of course.
Yeah, I've been using it for about a year now. It's a little frustrating that it will learn my misspellings before it suggests a proper replacement, but otherwise I have no complaints. Direct upgrade over the stock AOSP keyboard.
I like Fossify's, but I won't recommend it - it has no predictive text and no symbols on its main keyboard, the first which is a huge deal for almost everyone. Not sure if they're working on those or if it will never get those features, because if it had those two it would be the perfect keyboard because it's so great in every other sense.
ive been using heliboard for a while now. no complaints.
I love the fulliness of unexpected keyboard
I like HeliBoard. It automatically switches between the languages I write in.
Yeah heliboard is the only one ive found that is actually usable on a day to day. Just wish the autocorrect was better, other than that no complaints.

Florisboard beta is what I use. Extremely customisable. I think the biggest things that lacks are custom background photo and text-gliding (I ~dont use any of these though).
I made it almost identical to the gboard theme I was using previously and it's so cool.
I am a big florisboard fan too, but I can not get autocorrect to work? How did you manage that? Also, I have glide typing, how do you not?

I don’t know, but Thumb-Key is written to by a core Lemmy developer, dessalines.
what a fantastic way to indicate my turbo nerd status to my friends and family!
