Easiest and fastest, but almost most expensive, how to start on fully self custodial lightning: 
1) have a UTXO of at least 1M sats
2) buy a @Start9 or @umbrel 
3) watch the @BTCsessions YouTube video titled UMBREL - How To Use Your Bitcoin and Lightning Node (NEW)

5) download @ZEUS on your phones, sync with your node, btcsessions also has content on this.
