Alright gang, here’s an easy way to remember it.
The Beta trolls were introduced alongside the Beta kids.
The Alpha trolls were introduced alongside the Alpha kids.
Wouldn't the cherubs' session be technically post scratch because it's sort of post apocalyptic? Perhaps a pre scratch counterpart will be introduced later... Which leads to the question; could a one-player session like Caliborn's lead to a Scratch?
The Cherub session is not a post-scratch session. It couldn’t be scratched because you need Echidna’s needles to scratch the Beat Mesa and there is no Echidna in Caliborn’s session.
Wasn't it stated that the Alternian sun is too hot for normal trolls to be in direct contact with? So the trolls are nocturnal except for Kanaya's caste?

Yes to both.
didn't rose write game walkthroughs? does that mean she's a gamer? I forget
She wrote the Sburb walkthrough, we don’t know if she wrote others.
Dirk mentioned something about the Condy's plan with the lussi and how she was hiding them somewhere on earth, and since we see them on Jake's island would that mean she hid them there thinking that it was unhabited ever since she killed Jade there?

Yes
wouldn't karkat's group be the alpha trolls since alpha sessions are post-scratch and karkat's group was post-scratch?

It has been explained in canon that Meenah’s group was the Alpha and Karkat’s the Beta. Whether or not that makes sense isn’t up to me.
hi, this is probably a dumb question but wasn't meenah's ghost 19 and vriska's ghost 13? the whole thing kind of creeped me out :-(

Vriska’s ghost had been in the dreambubbles for a long time so while her ghost may look 13 since that’s when she died she’s actually a lot older because time works differently in the dreambubbles. Meenah’s ghost on the other hand only recently arrived in the dreambubbles so she’s still relatively the same age.
Can you please clarify which set of trolls is Alpha and which ones are Beta? Like is Karkat, Gamzee, etc. Alphas or Betas?

Technically Karkat’s group is the Beta trolls. But because everyone mixes up which group is which I just refer to them as pre-scratch or post-scratch.
