The better way to rebalance your lightning channels is to reposition your node in the network to get better liquidity flow.

This makes node operation more passive and less costly.

You can achieve this by modifying your fees on certain channels and finding gaps in liquidity on the network.

Lnrouter.app and lnnodeinsight.com are excellent tools for this.

Answer the question please.

Rebalancing is key. Those are great tools for sure!!

Another thing you can do is spend a week getting rebalance.py (shout out C-Otto) set up on your first node, only to run it and find out that you don't really even have any need for it because you have no "real" channels open and no real btc locked up yet.
