There's no ads, yet.
I feel like ads in lemmy would be a hard to implement thing, it would need to be done on the instance level... and people would just jump ship to another instance that didn't have ads. it's possible that it could post ads as posts that get federated but it sounds like an amazing way to potentially get your instance defederated in concern that it's going to devolve to constant spam.
I mean, right now, yeah. But these instances use resources, which means they're not free. Someone needs to cover the bill. I remember when YouTubers were put on blast when they started running ads and now it's normal.
Or there might be instances that are specific paid and that's known. Like an OnlyLemmy or something.
