Could someone explain to me how it works that you don't pay Lightning fees with zaps?

It doesn't work like that, it depends on the wallet. Many custodial wallets offer zero fee zaps to attract users.

So it's just by chance that I haven't paid any fees that I know of so far?

I would have thought that to be very improbable because of the diversity of wallets everyone uses.

Yes. Then LN's fees are usually calculated percentually, so on small transaction rounding down makes zero.

Which wallet do you use?

Wallet of Satoshi

Strike

Primal

YakiHonne

Primal uses Strike, so they are the same thing.

Does YakiHonne have a built in wallet? I thought it just had NWC functionalities.

I did not know that 🙏

I believe so. I configured one in the app and even got an individual lightning address for it.
