I’m looking for a privacy-respecting open-source android keyboard, and so far I’ve found:
Does anyone have any experience with these (or other alternative keyboards)? Which one would you recommend?

I use thumb-key, made by dessalines. I downloaded it from fdroid
If you check out screenshots, you’ll see that its a very non traditional type of keyboard that requires time and effort to get the hang of.
Once you do, you will be able to type roughly as fast as you would with predictive swipe
Any tips on how to actually learn this keyboard? Do I just force myself to use it as much as possible until the movements start to become muscle memory? How long might that take?
Yes, muscle memory
Roughly two weeks for me

I’m using MessagEase, which looks incredibly similar.
ETA: oh, its a remake. I might need to install and move my layout over.
That is really out there!
Probably not going to use it (since I’m already too used to normal keyboards), but props to the devs for developing something different.
Understandable. I had to take some time to learn it, and I sometimes do stop for a bit when I dont exactly know how to spell something lol
I just noticed, that keyboard was created by one of the Lemmy Devs.
Quite fitting to see it posted here
