Celestia has launched Mamaki testnet. You can try to setup validator node using kjnodes guide

Currently you can experience problems with discovering peers. You can try to ask community for peers in discord or use publicly available Live Peers provided by Polkachu.

Also you can try setting up one of other node types on seperate machine by provided manual guides.

!Please note that Mamaki is not Celestia’s incentivized testnet, which is planned closer to mainnet that is not announced yet!

Subspace is launching Gemini Incentivized Testnet. More than 1000 nodes have already synced with the main chain.

Incentivized testnet rewards will start within 48 hours after 3000 nodes are fully synced and are actively participating in the consensus. Based on the current progress, we expect this event to occur late this week or early next, but it will ultimately depend on the overall network.

Guide to setup farmer can be found here

Subspace have reached target of more than 3000 fully synced nodes. That means on-chain rewards will be enabled in next 48 hours. (Saturday, June 11, @ 3 PM UTC)

Team is aware that many community members are still in the process of syncing their nodes. As more nodes reach parity with the latest blocks, we expect the quality of peers to improve, reducing the average sync time. Team are also constantly working on improving the node client to reduce the RAM consumption and many other optimizations.

You can use the block explorer to check the latest block.

If your node happens to be far ahead in block number compared to what you see on the block explorer, it means you are on the wrong fork. The same is true if you see the following message on your terminal/logs: Node is running on non-canonical fork.

To fix this you will have to reset your node by following instruction in the guide

#subspace

Subspace have released latest snapshot, jun-13, which includes fixes to a frequently reported issue that results in nodes getting stuck and displaying a “Waiting for farmer to receive and acknowledge archived segment” warning.

To update your node you can use steps from the guide: https://github.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/tree/main/subspace#update-the-node

FYI: this update is not mandatory to be eligible for rewards but can make your node more stable
