I read a little bit how kbin works, fediverse and all of that, but I didn't find information where are the files?

Is each magazine hosted on admins machine? How that stuff works?

I believe it's on the instance server.

Yes, all the magazines under a single instance are hosted on a single server, in case of kbin.social on a private machine(s) in Poland owned by the admin/developer of kbin - which is why the site has been so slow today, with the influx of thousands of new users. Other instances, such as fedia.io, are hosted by other people on separate machines, and have their own sets of magazines.
