I’m wondering how are all those different Lemmy instances financed? I know some rely on donations, but is that all and is that sustainable?

Not at any scale.
Besides funding you already have enough infighting, power mods, and admins shaping content according to political belief.
So tell years fun now everyone is going to defed against most instances and it’ll be even more of a pain in the ass to see content and it’s going to continue to get reposted across the instances you do interact with.
So like, lemmy will be here but it’s going to end up more like a traditional forum than interconnected communities.
I disagree, because with a forum, generally it was just one server right to begin with? It’s just a little bit different then the fediverse in that forums didn’t federate at all. Time will tell what will happen to the fediverse. I would pay close attention to Mastodon as it has the most users off all federated services. Whatever happens to to it are signs, look out for them
