I just made a blunder on Electrum wallet that cost me some of my hard earned Sats. I don't know I can't use lightning wallet on electrum mobile wallet. I sent from muun wallet to electrum mobile wallet, to my uttermost surprise, the Sat got deposited on onchain side on electrum wallet. In short I have learnt my lesson and I will stick to this set of LN wallets: Blink, Muun, Alby and Zebedee.

Before using any wallet app is better to start reading guides. For Electrum are plenty of them by arman the parman, very well explained. https://armantheparman.com/electrum/
Youe lack of understanding (because you are not reading first) between bitcoin onchain and LN will cost you more and more.

Yes I assumed responsibility of my action. I will check out that link to learn more. Thanks
on-chain addresses look distinctly different from lightning addresses. You can not send lightning to an on-chain address, you can not send on-chain to a lightning address.
Someone may take your on-chain Bitcoin and send lightning on your behalf
OR
Your channel partner may stop lightning transactions to "splice" in on-chain Bitcoin into the lightning channel
It sounds like this blunder was made possible because you don't know what a lightning invoice looks like.
I know what lightning invoice looks like but I messed everything up by not checking if electrum accept lightning on mobile phones.
I need you to understand why I can not believe you looked at this (a Bitcoin address)

And thought it was this (a lightning invoice)

I didn't use the main ln address, I just copied the address not knowing I copied onchain address.
Ah, and since Muun can send onchain and lightning, it just accepted your onchain address from Electrum, right?
That's not possible. That literally means you posted an on-chain address and thought it was a lightning invoice. There's no way you could have gotten a lightning invoice from an app that doesn't have lightning
With "costly blunder" you mean the onchain/miner fees?
