Can I rebalance funds from one channel to another?

An experimental rebalancing feature is available in Alby Hub 1.18

Alby Hub has added experimental support for rebalancing. This allows you to move funds from a more full channel into a more empty channel.

Swaps are a recommended alternative to rebalancing.

On the node page, press the 3 dots and click the "Rebalance In" option.

Next, enter the amount to rebalance into your channel.

Press "Confirm" and wait for the payment to complete.

The swap service is powered by Megalith LSP and is currently in Beta. You cannot choose which channel to rebalance from, so sometimes the rebalancing will not work exactly as intended. If you find this service useful, let us know!
