So how does lemmy make money?

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

It costs me exactly $4 a month to operate my server. If it grows to the point where I have to ask for donations, I will, but for now I operate it at my own expense because I can afford it.

Out of curiosity, what are you doing for hosting? I'm interested in hosting an instance, but I'm not sure what kind of hardware to throw at it.
