The thumbnails are hosted on your home instance.

And the content itself? And it's hosted on the home instance of the uploader or on every home instance and then served to their own users from that one?

It's just hosted on their home instance. If all the content would be synced, it would be impossible to set up smaller and personal instanced without massive storage capacities.
