I wanted to donate to Lemmy and there are 3 platforms available on https://join-lemmy.org/donate - my question is, which gives the most money to Lemmy after fees, and is therefore the preferred platform?

Liberapay only allows recurring donations. Liberapay doesn't take a cut, but payment processors they use do. On average about 2.9% for the payments processed by Stripe and 4.9% for the payments processed by PayPal.
Patreon only allows recurring donations. Patreon takes 5%, or 8% or 12% (depending on the plan) of total income creators earn from the platform.
OpenCollective allows recurring donations and one time contributions. OpenCollective takes 10%.

Clarification: It's not OpenCollective that takes 10%, but the project chosen fiscal host that deals will all paperwork regarding taxes, accounting and invoicing.

Well with LiberaPay you can also cancel the scheduled/recurring donations after the very first payment is done and it effectively becomes one time donation.

Can I donate in crypto? Like BTC/ADA/ETH/XMR?

They have wallet addresses for bitcoin, ethereum, monero and cardano (scroll down).
