I can't import seeds to electrum. Whether selecting m/44'/0'/0' or m/49'/0'/0' or m/84'/0'/0' it doesn't display the corresponding address.

I have the same problem... Transferred bitcoin to the app's bitcoin address. Never arrived...

@uccuh LND doesn't use BIP39 which is what Electrum uses. LND uses aezeed cipher seed, info: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/tree/master/aezeed. None other wallets have the same cipher seed scheme so you have to create a LND instance and import the seed there to restore your wallet.

Also, this is a tech support question that you can find help if you ask on LND slack.
