An instance is like your email provider. When you get "messages", like "a new post was created", or "your comment got upvoted", it gets sent to your instance for you to read.
At the same time, instances are also email providers for communities/sublemmies, so when people post in a sub, the instance hosting that sub receives the "messages" from other instances in the Fediverse.
