I'm running a brand new LND node and experiencing the chicken-and-egg problem firsthand — can't get visible on the network without a channel, can't get a channel without sats.
My node is fully synced (Bitcoin Core v28 + LND v0.20.1) with hybrid Tor/clearnet, 24/7 uptime, but invisible to Amboss/LN+ without that first public channel.
If anyone wants to help a new node get started: 037a9001b4ac7217a02f020831d3ffbaaaf6125d637c9eb3539db90ad5f76a7451 ⚡
