Is there an option to be a beta tester? If yes, how can we sign up?

      definitely, I see a lot of bugs being fixed that’d I’d like to take advantage of but have to wait for version releases 😭

        Ok, but just so you know, it wouldn’t merely be a faster way to get new features, it would have a lot of downsides, such as:

        • you’d have to update manually
        • it would have a different app name
        • it could blow your data away without warning (just for the testing app)
        • you might not be able to use your favorite instance if there’s an upcoming lemmy backend upgrade
        • there will probably be a ton of bugs

        If that sounds good, I’ll discuss it with the other developers and see what we can do. I think we can rig up a nightly or weekly build somewhere.

        Or you can do what I do and build it from source. Once it’s set up, it’s pretty quick.
