I'm fairly new to #Nostr. I use #amethyst. I am probably not much help here.
I can say, however, that figuring out how all of this works is a fundamental issue with attracting people to #Nostr. It will be hard getting noobs to stay and engage without knowledable people being willing to meet these people where they're at. It just becomes an echo chamber of devs and wannabe devs.
Here's What I can offer:
You view your sats from within your wallet (it sounds like you use #alby).
Alby can be connected to your nostr client (I've never used #Damus so I don't know how this process works, but on Amethyst it required digging into settings and using #NWC. It was kinda complex, but doable without much outside help).
I believe alby is discontinuing its free wallet service, so you may need to find other services to use as a wallet.
I figured out that you can use #NWC to connect another wallet, like #coinos, to alby. In that case, you can login to either coinos or alby to view your sats. But you could probably just use 1 wallet service connected to Damus and be happy. I use coinos in combination with alby because alby allows for a direct integration with Amethyst. That may not be a thing for you.
Viewing sats from within your nostr client (Damus) is probably not possible. So, after successfully connecting your wallet to Damus, you would have to leave the client and open your wallet to view your sats.
In Amethyst (my client) linking your wallet to recieve sats is a different process then linking your wallet to send sats. That's a rabbit hole that took me several days to understand.
I hope others here can fill in some of these gaps and offer more help. Feel free to ask me any direct questions about any of these steps, but I am rather noob myself.
Good luck! 👍
