Can you explain to us how split payments work? What Lightning implementation are you guys using for that to work?

Splits are defined through the <podcast:value> tag that's defined in the new Podcasting 2.0 namespace - https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/main/value/value.md
Any podcaster can put a value block in their RSS feed - either at the <channel> level for show splits or the <item> level for episode splits. The episode splits are definitely the most exciting as they allow podcasters to share sats with guests, producers, listeners, good causes etc.
A value block contains a list of recipients that look like this:
<podcast:valueRecipient
    name="[name of recipient(string)]"
    type="[address type(string)]"
    address="[the receiving address(string)]"
    customKey="[optional key to pass(mixed)]"
    customValue="[optional value to pass(mixed)]"
    split="[share count(int)]"
    fee=[true|false]

We use LNPay (LND) to manage our Lightning node which adds additional features like webhooks and sub wallets - https://lnpay.co
