I'm gonna have to do a lot more reading. I don't really want to host my own node. I'm not even sure I want to bother with lightning/zaps/etc. anyway. I suppose I'm the odd duck for that.

Running a node is not for the faint of heart. It's not the hardest thing ever but if you're not "technical" there's a lot to learn to get going.
Wallet Of Satoshi is a custodial wallet a lot of people use if that doesn't bother you.
All that said I've been a bitcoiner a long time and lightning is cool as hell.
Yeah, I'll eventually use WoS, but, right now I can't install it through auroastore since the account associated with that is rate limited. I can be patient.
A node just isn't what I want to bother with. I've got way too much other stuff to figure out.
Thanks for the input! I really appreciate it.
