Remember that Alby Hub and Rizful.com are both good options, and both offer NWC strings which can be used in Damus and other clients. But these have tradeoffs, because the user runs a "full node in the cloud", which isn't free. (Although it's not super-expensive, either.)

We're actually working now on a "lightweight" version of Rizful.com that will be free and will offer NWC connections.

But it's also a good thing if lots of people run their own Lightning Nodes. It's contributes to the decentralization of the network.

If you need any help with anything around Lightning, we'd love to help out.
