Even try this one in terminal?
gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys FC918B335044912E
I just tried this keyserver and worked for me.
Nice, this one doesn’t work for me
[lain@wired ~]$ gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys FC918B335044912E
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available
What about manual import
wget https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc
gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc

[limo@lenovo ~]$ gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys FC918B335044912E
gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir '/home/limo/.gnupg'
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data

No data
Maybe their server is down! Try later perhaps?
Run these commands
wget https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc
gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc

Just curious, does installing from yay compile from source? I read the messages while installing Dropbox and catfish, seemed to me it was compiling something on my machine.
I hope you brief answer and guide me to read more! Please.
Thank you.

Yes but you can use just binaries instead where already compiled and for faster install.
i.e. notice how more votes and can choose brave-bin instead of brave below as example.
Brave Browser
Find the software you want and install using pacman command from Official Repo
If not there then yay command to install from Unofficial Arch User Repo . Look at votes, comments and package not out of date first.
But forum will always help best they can if create separate thread. Lots of reading from Arch wiki and Distrotube is great youtube channel for knowledge!
