Reddit migrator here (shocking, I know)

Just wondering because I found out about all this yesterday and just realized the ammount of independent servers, but no sign of any ads or sponsors. So… is it all based on donations?

Also don’t just lurk, if you know you should answer because lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users.

    it’s pretty likely that instance owners will want to monetize as much as possible

    I disagree. It’s find to have hobbies that don’t make money. Running a lemmy instance can be that.

      Running any decently sized instance quickly turns from a hobby to at least a part-time job. A thing that you can’t just quit whenever is not a hobby and we should be mindful of that.
