I can only open a channel with SN to increase spending capacity via Alby Hub using an on-chain balance. I cannot open a channel to increase receiving capacity using Alby Hub through SN. The only options I get are Megalith, Zeus, and other LSPs. When I dabbled with LND and Thunderhub a few years back, there was a way to rebalance lightning channels. However, I cannot find a way to do that using Alby Hub. I remember why I stopped working with lightning a few years ago. The complexity can be overwhelming. If I have to install ThunderHub, LNDG, or something like that, I will be back to square one.

Sorry for not replying earlier, but you cannot request liquidity from us since we are not a liquidity service provider (yet). To have inbound liquidity in your SN channel, you can push sats to SN by sending sats to yourself using another lightning wallet or to an onchain address ("swap out") with a service like boltz.exchange.

There's probably a way using lncli to pay a circular route to your own node to rebalance channels but using the method above worked well enough for me so far. I usually used an invoice from my Phoenix wallet.

Thanks, was able to balance the channel after performing a ’loop out’.
