I used to use iBus/Anthy, but I can't seem to get it working on Wayland.

Fcitx seems like a promising candidate, but it seems that version 5 is necessary to support Wayland, and getting that in has stalled: 760501.

Are there any other options? Is there anything I might be able to do to assist with getting the bug unblocked?

I'm not currently using wayland, but I just installed fcitx5 on KDE6 with wayland and qt6 enabled, and it seems to have worked. You might/probably need to install
Code:
app-i18n/fcitx-configtool
in order for it to be usable; without that I couldn't configure it to utilize mozc. I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I activated the kcm use flag, then in systemsettings you can navigate to the "Input Method" item, and click the button to "+ Add Input Method", uncheck the button to limit the list to the current language and then search for your input method of choice.

I'll give fcitx another chance.
Once I used to use ibus, then I don't know why it didn't work anymore and I switched to fcitx. Then I had to go back to ibus. Now I'll try fcitx again. 8O

I used ibus for a while then switched to fcitx, I don't remember why anymore but probably the same thing - it stopped working. Fcitx has been fine for me, but mozc broke for a couple of months with compile errors; so if you're considering using it I suppose keep that in mind.

It's still a little tricky though, like it seems to not be switching input in GTK apps (like when I try to type hiragana in Firefox)... :? I guess that's going to need some research. :roll:

I'm going to check, I'm using ibus with mozc o anthy.
No problem at all with x11, while I can't make it work on Wayland.
Wayland is a jinx.

I had ibus/mozc installed.
Now I passed ti fcitx/anthy and all works well both on X11 and Wayland.
When remote incoming connection will be working, I'll pass to Wayland.

Glad to hear you've made some progress. It's just too bad that this area seems to have regressed from where it was several years ago.

Real regress is Wayland
