Sounds like you’re doing great so far!
Since you already have an Alby wallet, the next thing I’d recommend is to download the nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 app so you can link your Alby account to it to use as a mobile wallet, so you can zap back.
Then, start looking into using some of the zaps you’re earning on paid relays to enhance your experience here and eliminate any spam you see in the global feed.
Let us know if you’re getting stuck on any of these steps!
