By this I mean: something that can view and fully interact with multiple different services like Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.

Does it exist already?

    Yeah, someone could make a Fediverse app that works with everything, but it’d have to be someone with a lot of time on their hands and enough acumen to make something that can put up a UI for all frontends that can compete with both Ivory and…well, whatever emerges as the big Lemmy/Kbin app.

      Well they are using their free time and talent to make a app for a free service. That’s kind of a default.

      But I think people are approaching this the wrong way. You don’t need to support the entire fediverse at once. I know it’s OP’s question, but the reality is that you’d focus on 1-2 of the biggest sites and add others later when (if?) any other big instance with a fundamentally different part of the API.

      You won’t support everything but you can eventually support 99% of where people browse.

        It’ll still take a ridiculous amount of effort though, especially to come up with a unified interface that looks good for all those services.
