- Thumb-Key — A flick keyboard for mobile phones; a FOSS alternative to MessagEase created by Lemmy's own Dessalines. It's not perfect, neither was MessagEase, but for what it is it's pretty damn good and definitely beats using a mobile QWERTY keyboard.
- Ibis — A federated wiki created by Lemmy's own Nutomic. It's currently pretty barebones with little activity, but I'd like to see more interest in the project so that it can grow and improve. I think it has a lot of potential.
I've been slowly trying thumbkey but seem to be struggling to get to the point where I feel comfortable using it over qwerty. I love the concept as I also hate using qwerty.... Yet I still seem more accurate using the crutch of autocorrect. With thumbkey I have to go back and correct more than I thought I would. I can kinda touch-type at a decent rate now but I definitely need more practice.
All of this is to ask: is there a point where I will be so comfortable as to not need to fear misspelling something without this crutch of autocorrect?
i'm trying it now as I love the idea, but how do I add capitals?
If it's created by the Lemmy devs, capital letters might not be included. Might have only communist and socialist letters :P
The key just to the left of the # key, i.e. the A key in the default Thumb-Key layout, should have a ▲ for the upward swipe. That swipe is how you get into shift mode. Swipe up on that key again to enter caps-lock; swipe down on that key to release the shift/caps-lock.
PERFECT Thank you.

I can't speak for how long it will take you specifically, but yeah, I absolutely think you can get to that point. I don't really remember how long it took me to learn, but it couldn't have been more than a few weeks, and I think I had some factors which were working to my advantage, anyways. Have you adjusted any of the settings?
Is his other software as shitty as lemmy?
That's a bit mean, I think Lemmy is pretty good all things considered.
I mean it's a massive legal risk to instance admins. Its not shitty due to not enough resources. Its shitty because they intentionally focus on stupid features and ignore (and scold) their community of users when they ask them to work on actually important bugs

Just search the github issues for gdpr. There's loads of them.

There's like 8 issues about separate bugs where users get stuck in a situation where they can't delete their data. That is a massive violation of gdpr with horrible legal and financial penalties.
See how long they've been open?
