 It depends a bit on your OS and location.
But just start with a custodial Lightning wallet and put the address in your profile.
I started out with Wallet of Satoshi, because of simplicity.

 And where you live (we can’t use wallet of satoshi in the states anymore, most people are using Alby for now)

 Discover a VPN.

I had a guy in Australia trying to install WoS on his new graphene phone but it wasn't in the app store.

He had his VPN set to the USA & so it wouldn't display for install. We switched it to Singapore & got it installed. He said he has had problems using it with his VPN set to the USA.

 I have one for poker, I didn’t try it with WOS yet, but that would be rad

 I'd register an email address with the WoS account so that you can recover it if it's ever removed but it should work.

Don't rely on it as your only lightning tool, but it's very useful & optionality is always a good thing to have more of.

 Damn, I had no idea. I’m gonna try it. Still mainly using Alby for now. We are either gonna do the hub or go to Zeus in the future

 Zeus is my latest thing I'm working through.

 You could probably do something similar with the Phoenix app which is a more sovereign way to use lightning.

This app was also removed from the US app stores.

 Yes. I have multiple Lightning wallets and other places to store sats. But just to receive and receive zaps, just start with one, and see how you get on.
