is there a way for lightning to be self-custodial, without the inbound liquidity hassle, easily settled on the base layer, affordable on the long term and without the need to open and close channels just to spend some online?

Nope. If you’re just using lightning for sending zaps and small amounts, I think using a custodial wallet makes more sense.
Phoenix wallet.
Do you know where in the phoenix app can I get the address with the @ format?? To recieve sats.
Oh, well, those addresses aren't done by wallets. They are done with a Linux server running lnurlp software. When you see wallets like Zeus or Alby offering those addresses, they are a custodial service that forwards the Bitcoin to you after they receive it.
If you just want an simple lightning address, go to lnwallet.app and you can create an address with a single click. When you receive zaps ⚡, just forward them to your Phoenix wallet. It includes a NWC connection so you can link it to your nostr client to send zaps.
You can also register a nostr NIP-05 address at onlynostr.club and point it at the lightning address you created in the previous step. That's what I do. That's how I have that same vanity address as my lightning address as well.
I really don’t care about the address format but it was the format that primal was asking me for. I ended up using primal wallet because it was easy to set up. But now i try to send from primal wallet to phoenix and still the format of the phoenix address is not accepted. Any ideas why?
Our service is not custodial.
Cashu, and even that's not truly self-custodial.
Scalable Bitcoin solutions are all shitty in their own way, with the obvious solution in the community's face having a dogmatic refusal to be acknowledged and/or serious consideration.
