Cash into Monero?

I am new to using Monero. What are the rules to moving anon. and safe with Monero. Safest exchanges, Wallets, and sources to spend online would be ideal. How does one turn cash into crypto. Debit cards possible or surrogate spenders?

The official Monero website has some good recommendations. There's always the option of using cash (etc.) to buy Monero from one of the decentralized exchanges, but you may have to interact irl.

There's as well !monero!monero@lemmy.ml which I guess halted in favor of !monero!monero@monero.town?

If this is the case, I'm wondering why not locking the community, writing a message in the community information to go to the actual active one (!monero!monero@monero.town)...

I don't know how safe this is, but what I do:

Make a local XMR wallet, backup, and host your own blockchain
Buy regular crypto, say LTC, from a legit exchange with KYC
Swap that to XMR on an anon swap/exchange, storing in your wallet 3 (optional). Move from your first wallet to another, for extra safety???

Spend it where you can, not many places. BTCPay server, which can be self-hosted, supports it, so there are options.

To be safe: paper wallets.

The rest: YMMV
