For what it’s worth I have a Sofle keyboard, that’s a diy ergo split. And it’s a lot cheaper than a moonlander (especially if you already have keycaps and switches). Also it’s QMK so you can customise the layout to your hearts content. I really enjoy it. Very nice to use. The Sofle v2 looks to have a slightly more convenient thumb/mod key row, but I couldn’t get it with choc switches at the time, which I wanted.

Hi, there is a community just for Ergo Mech over at lemmy.world - ErgoMechKeyboards
For whatever reason, the "c" in that link needed to be switched with "m" for it to work: https://kbin.social/m/ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world
Guess it's kbin.social that uses /m for communities - for lemmy servers I belive it's /c
Yeah, if it's on a Kbin instance they're called magazines, not communities. Honestly I find Kbin weird because it tries to mix two different organization styles, but whatever. So, for that user it uses an m even though it's originally a Lemmy instance.
I have the Moonlander as my first and only ergo board (so far). I like it a lot, especially since it’s not an extreme departure from normal keyboards. I don’t go crazy with layers, but people have published Moonlander configurations that may help you solve the issue of not enough keys.
