Not all Lightning wallets are equal. If you're going to take tips, two things are worth checking first.
LUD-21: your wallet knows when it's been paid, but can it pass that information back? If it can, everyone who tips you can potentially get a live notification of it. If it can't, the sats still arrive, but only the two wallets know.
LUD-12: can a payment carry a note? That's how a tipper's name can get to you. Most wallets allow one, but the limit runs anywhere from 150 to 1,000 characters.
I run Bitcoin Tip Jar, so I test every wallet I can for both. The results are here, and you can check your own address:
