Most of these platforms are unknown, so it is best to avoid them, especially since many of Scam exchanges use new updated services such as the Lightning Network to convince others that they are feasible platforms.
The platforms may not be the right place for the lightning network because the main purpose of them is to make small and daily payments such as buying coffee, daily products and others +  https://www.bitrefill.com/gift-cards/?hl=en.

From that list I only know bitfinex but it is still good to know there are others.

In a few years when Lightning gets adopted widely, the others won't be able to afford to ignore it anymore. Shits like coinbase will drag their feet to the last minute probably. I expect binance to be the second big LN exchange.

In this thread, I'm going to list some of the exchanges/swap sites which accept payments through Bitcoin Lightning Network. I will try to add a little information of the exchanges.
Before that, I would like to add two benefits of LN implementation in the exchanges. I would appreciate hearing some more from you (Of course benefits when using LN in exchanges; not in general)

Fee: You don't have to pay higher fee anymore. Basically, when we withdraw BTC from exchanges, a common fee of 0.0005 BTC (In some cases, it's lower and higher as well). Through LN, you don't have to pay such a big amount of fee anymore. You can easily send LN BTC from channel you have with the exchange and receive Main net BTC from a lot of swap sites which will cost you few times less than 0.0005 BTC.
Faster Transaction: It's common for LN, we know how faster LN can be. You don't require to wait minutes for the confirmation when deposit. You can do it instantly.

These are the common exchanges I have found accepting LN payments.

Some swap sites which are very much necessary if you want to increase inbound capacity.

There are a lot of swap sites which accept LN payments, can be found in LN directory- https://lightningnetworkstores.com/?sector=exchange
I have added only these which information I could find out from the LN explorer.
