thumb-key by one of the creators of Lemmy. It’s also very lightweight and snappy.
It took me a few days to learn though. Now it has become my 2nd nature. I type fast and effortlessly with it. I don’t even need to look at the keyboard.

I used thumbkey for a couple months. I could use it, but it was never fast. YMMV

Flickboard is also worth checking out if you like this style of typing. It’s on F-Droid.
The dev compares them like this in her README:

I have used Flickboard too and I like both of them.
Flickboard is more advanced and supports a lot more customization. For example, it has macros which expand to symbols and text. You can create shortcuts for your email, math and currency symbols etc.
IME thumb-key is minimal, updated more frequently, and looks better out of the box. So I prefer it.
