Ok so... After Reading 3 I don't understand 2 😅
I'm on Umbrel and I have 2 different apps : lightning node and Alby hub.
I opened a channel on Alby Hub and I have a wallet there with some says.
But I also have a wallet on the node with nothing on it. I have not opened a channel on this app. What happens if I send funds there? And is there any point in doing it?

ah, sorry. missed that detail
so on Umbrel if you use LND, then Alby Hub just uses your LND node.
It is basically a easy UI for your LND node.
So you opened a channel in Alby Hub (the UI), but your LND is the node that has this channel.
Alby Hub gives your LND node the powers to for example connect to the Alby lightning address, the extension, the mobile app, use zapping on nostr. etc.
Ok thanks. That's how I understood it.
So it's there any point in sending funds directly to LND node?
If I want to, do I have to open a channel there too?
