Can anyone here get Gboard to gesture type "Lemmy"? - eviltoast

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.

    Aprifnid isn’t a common word either. I literally made it up.

    I don’t think it’s likely that Google is trying to silence this term, but I am saying that I wouldn’t underestimate the petty lengths large organizations go to for their desired effects.

    Turns out that we can actually finagle the keyboard to say Lemmy if we’re crafty about it.

      Yea overall agreed

      My guess for why Aprifnid worked better was because it’s not similar to other words, maybe
