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

Does it exist already?

    I wouldn’t say it’s not possible it’s just too hard for the reward. The app would not be user-friendly because of the very different kinds of services that exists. OP just imagine you had an one app that basically lets you access discord, twitter, instagram, Facebook, Reddit and others. It would be possible but it’s a lot of work for a really crappy app. That app would be messy and cluttered and not a good experience.

      Well, technically there are apps that let you access all those services. They’re called browsers.

        …and I find that Lemmy/kbin/Mastodon (and the rest?) work really well in a browser, obviating the need for dedicated apps. Dedicated apps are nice though.

      It’s impossible to make an app that will support the whole fediverse, including apps that have not been developed yet, that’s what I meant. Of course with enough work you can add each existing one individually, nobody will stop you from doing that.
