We need lightning network on mainnet yesterday. But it very much alpha software and will not be deployed unless it gets tons more testing and dev work. However, not everyone is a developer and even if you are a developer, contributing to crypto is not easy. I was in the same position.
But there are other ways! I installed Bitcoin Core on testnet and both Lnd and Eclair and tried opening channels, sending payments, closing channels etc. After a day or so, I discovered two bugs, filed them and cooperated with developers in tracking them and fixing them. If you are a bit tech savvy, you can do that too. In the process, you might also discover how lightning actually works and when it really comes, you'll be ready to take full advantage.
