I have been looking all day for a FOSS keyboard that’s under active development. It seems like more of not all of the ones I’ve seen recommended haven’t been updated in over a year some three years. I don’t mind if it’s a long time between updates but I want to know bugs will be fixed eventually.

I tried Floris recently. It looks really promising, but I found the swipe input to be maddeningly frustrating - obscure words chosen over common alternatives etc. That was the reason I most wanted to migrate from Gboard. Alas. There’s still nothing out there in this respect which beats the old Swype back in the day for me (though of course it wasn’t FOSS).

Oh, I forgot about. I suffered from the same problem. It also happened when I tried swiping long words. I would get a completely different word or nothing at all.
