I'm not seeing any ads, and these servers certainly have a cost.... So is this place entirely donation based, or what?

Worth mentioning:

Lemmy itself is an open source software. It's developed by a community, and was originally created by two developers. It does not make money, except from things like donations or patreon.
Lemmy instances are run by different members of the community. Various folks have answered ways that instances could make money but may not make money in any ways.
