You say that on a social media platform built by volenteers, doing it for donations. People do things for lots of reasons, money is only one of them. And not even the strongest for most people.

Do they make a living off of it? Are there any famous influencers based in Lemmy promoting brands?

Some of the devs do. I don’t know any people famous for being on Lemmy yet. It’s too small still, and network effects keep people on the larger services. But does any of that mean it’s not possible? No

I’m assuming just a very very small portion of the people contributing are earning money here.
Well, until there are big famous content creators spawning from open source platforms or some collectively owned social media, I’ll remain extremely sceptical. Until then, best of luck
