This only refers to Alby accounts with a shared wallet after 12 consecutive months of inactivity. Alby Hub is a self-custodial wallet. Those uses are in control of their funds and are not affected.

My channel was just closed after 12 months. All my sats are gone amd it saiod they shoud re-appear in my Node on my Alby Hub. Well they have not appeared after many hours now. It seems I have to buy another channel now, but that channel costs the same as the sats I actuially had. So it si really a washout for me, and I don't know what the point was of me even self-hosting the Hub was. Seems tyhat channel is the big catch. My Hub was in daily use, was connected, and had funds movement. If this is how much the channel is going to cost every 12 months, then this is absolutely not worth it for me.
You talk about different things here. Channels and Alby Hub are completely related. Channels can be closed in any lightning node - this is the basic concept of lightning and also important to make sure you and the channel partner are in full control.
Alby Hub integrates some LSPs but Alby does not provide any channel services.
If your channel was closed you can check with the channel partner. Or you're free to open a channel to any node that you like.
