Desktop Browser Lemmy UI - Inquiring about other possible instances (lemmy.ml)

There seems to be different UIs for Lemmy, but it's instance-wide and thus configured by the admin of that instance.

There seems to be an instance that isn't federated that uses a different UI, the only instance that I know of is Hexbear, that properly utilizes space of a desktop web browser to display content.

So what I'm wondering is, are there any federated instances that use that UI? I would obviously like to stay part of the fediverse with good moderation, I just want to find something that has UI that takes advantage of more screen real estate.

Also if there is anyone who is more familiar with the UI, hosting your own instance etc., is there any reason in particular why someone who is setting up a new instance couldn't or shouldn't use the UI that Hexbear is using?

Well thank you for the info. I wasn't aware that Hexbear was that unique in having forked off an old version. I was hoping that there were other federated instances using that UI.

With rising user number I am optimistic new frontends will emerge soon ^^
