If you check out the opencollective link in lemmy worlds sidebar, theres a budget breakdown there. And how much they gain in donations.

Or you could just to go the head admin's blog, where he does financial breakdowns of where the whole *.world thing is up to (they run multiple instances).

As of May, they've been making money from donations.

That’s awesome! Glad to see that my donations from canceling Reddit premium are making a difference. Hopefully the owners can eventually make an actual living off of this. Would be good for everyone involved
