Lightning network is tricky. When you open a channel you technically have no receive capacity can only send. So you would have to swap out to have receive capacity. Its a bit technical for new people. nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg6waehxw309a3kzcmgv5ejuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtmkxyq32amnwvaz7tm9v3jkutnwdaehgu3wd3skueq4089x0 client has a wallet built it kind of makes it easy if you want to try that out to start. Can always change it later.  

 So is it best not to use alby? And how does one swap if the wallet is 0? 

 I think on alby you have to set up lightning channels which is a little more complex. If you dont know how to do that I would recommend getting a lightning address through nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg6waehxw309a3kzcmgv5ejuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtmkxyq32amnwvaz7tm9v3jkutnwdaehgu3wd3skueq4089x0 or wallet of satoshis as they manage this for you before leveling up to running your own node or using a self sovereign option like Zeus wallet.
