I’m not seeing any ads, and these servers certainly have a cost… So is this place entirely donation based, or what?

    It doesn’t make money. It’s funded either by donations, or out of the pockets of the instance owner(s). It doesn’t mean that in the future, an instance owner wouldn’t just decide to start serving ads, I don’t think theres anything stopping them from doing that other than the threat of being defederated by other instances.
