Lightning liquidity question. (Phoenix Wallet) I was under the impression I needed to send out sats to increase inbound liquidity and balance the channel. However, I sent out to an on-chain address which did not affect my liquidity channels. Where did I go wrong?

You need to send a lightning transaction not an on chain transaction. You can use a wallet like muun that utilizes submarine swaps to accomplish this. Send a lightning payment to muun and your channel will stay the same size in phoenix.

Thanks. Will that increase my inbound liquidity? That was my original goal. My inbound shrunk and I was trying to balance it out.

Yes, you will increase inbound without reducing the capacity of the channel.
