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

the lemmy.world guy had to upgrade servers at least twice during the boom

It's their fault, though. You could either throw money at it to gain more and more ~~power over~~ users, or you embrace the federation and disable new registration at a certain amount of users.
