Zeus said using Alby is custodial. I thought Albyhub is noncustodial?
I obviously have a lot to learn, but after hearing so many people praise Lightning and Alby, I feel like it’s still not ready for the average user. I don’t mind self hosting and a little risk I do the wrong thing, but for most people it’ll be a pain.
Messed up the mounts in pod man and when restarting my hub I opened a channel twice, $40 or so total, and can’t find any clear way to view the on-chain details. Will those channels close after inactivity? Does it go back to the on-chain Alby wallet?

Alby used to be custodial, but they've migrated to self-custodial pretty recently
Zeus displays this message incorrectly. If you tap the info, it will disappear. Alby is noncustodial (or: selfcustodial)
In Alby Hub "Node" page, If you click on three dots next to the channel, you can see the funding transaction details.
Yes, your channel partners might close the channel if you are inactive for some time, and yes - sats should return to onchain balance
thanks I appreciate it! love the self-hosting option. I think Alby is doing great work.
