Any good way to use Gboard on the Z Fold? I miss the emoji kitchen but the default Samsung keyboard has support for different layouts depending on if the phone is open or closed (thumb keyboard when it's open and normal when closed) and I need that.
I have no idea. I assume it will have the same features since Google has their own foldable phone now?
Wow, you're right, it works now! It didn't before but yeah they must have added it for the Pixel Fold.
Yeah np, now cook up something good in the emoji kitchen

Beautiful! Btw if you want embed your image in a lemmy post/comment just do explanation point, square brackets then image link in parentheses with no space in-between.

Thank you! I'm on Kbin so I don't think I'll be able to see if it worked or not on your end. Looks like Kbin uses the same image attachment format as Mastodon, but Lemmy doesn't support that part of ActivityPub so I've been trying to figure out a good way to get Lemmy users to see my images. π Editing my comments with a direct link to the image after posting it was the best I could come up with...
That's fine. There is nothing wrong with that.
Edit: I just realized the URL I tried to use for the example does not work since I used your kbin one or something.
Ah I opened the thread in Lemmy and I guess it didn't work, it looks like I just pasted the link again haha
np its fine it should be set up like this. Ik the lemdroid mods were talking about this issue a few weeks ago.
Oh yeah that's what I did, it just doesn't translate from Kbin to Lemmy correctly and just shows up as a link again. Thank you though!
Np happy to at least help.

First time I seen a person say the blob holding the turtle is eating it!
Gboard is behaving well on my z fold. Floating on outer screen and normal keyboard on closed.
Yep works good now!
I just started using MessagEase, a unique FOSS kb.
π
Do you use stock messagease? I found the old app a little ugly but the way the keyboard works is great. Haven't used it for a bit now but was so much faster on it than any other software keyboard
Stock with some in-app aesthetic customization.
