Running a core node won’t help you setup lightning. It uses a different backend. From the LND readme:
lnd has several pluggable back-end chain services including btcd (a full-node) and neutrino (a new experimental light client)
So if you want to help get LN sooner, you should start with one of those, not core.

Yup, just installed btcd and lnd, it's syncing with testnet3.

Core is the backend for c-lightning. Lnd uses btcd.
