Think of it like different email providers. There are a few big ones, and some people host their own, but they can all (usually) communicate with each other.

Alright, that tracks. But then how/ why do I see stuff from the other instances (I think that's the right word)? Are they all like different subreddits?

In the email provider analogy, you have gmail, but you can receive email from gmail users and yahoo users and any other email provider users.

That would be the different email providers in the analogy. Each instance has its own set of communities (subreddits). But if the instances are federated with yours, then you can see the communities of those other instances
