Am I alone in here?

Dear community,
Thanks for providing an awesome OS for the Shift6 as well. Besides one crucial app, I can use the phone easily as a daily driver and I am very pleased in having one very well functional (and maybe also slightly more sustainable) linux phone in my hands. Started to use UbT since September.
I hope that I can be more supportive of this awesome community in the future. For now, it's a fresh registration but also so many questions on my mind...
However, I am quite wondering that I seem to be the first one posting here. I do this for now to signal that there are indeed people applying an UBport to the Shift6mq. Currently I'm using the development channel and see constant improvements being pushed to the phone.
Hope to find somebody else

Well, that makes you a pioneer!
I find the Shiftphone quite interesting, it's just above my budget. I'm glad to hear that it's working well for you! -
I decided between the Shift and Fairphone, obviously. Could't recall how I made the decision finally...
However, you have to remember that these phones are comparably heavy and you get less bang for the buck looking at specs. But swapping damaged parts easily yourself makes it quite attractive not only for sustainability but also my purse in the long run. Hopefully.Never bothered to boot into Android after receiving it

I bought a used one (for 400 EUR) some days ago. I am still undecided whether to try UBports or postmarketOS first. @krang Is your development channel 20.04 or 16.04?

I started before focal was a thing, so I'm on xenial/16.04.
Because it's mostly my daily driver and works quite well, I'd rather not change as of now.
Besides I'm really curious, of course.
Also, focal might change some issues I have which seems to be device specific. E.g. libertine lib2.23 seems to be faulty.
