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

Closest thing I know is Fedilab, which works with Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed and Friendica. While compatible with each other, each fediverse service uses different parts and features of ActivityPub (the protocol they all share). It’s technically possible to build an app that does it all, but doesn’t really sound sensible.
You can also watch PeerTube videos on Fedilab.
it also sort-of-kind-of-little-bit-of works with Misskey/Calckey. I don’t think any official work has been done to enable support, but you can login with your account and browse posts.
Exactly what i was thinking: Possible? Yes, absolutely. A good idea? Probably not, it’d be a confusing mess of an app
Yeah, it doesn’t make much sense to make the app interoperable, when so much effort is spent to make the whole website interoperable, and that allows you to communicate with the rest of the fediverse anyway.
