Any apps for the whole fediverse? (Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon?) (sh.itjust.works)

Mastodon has a ton of apps and Lemmy app development is going crazy right now. Are there any apps that can use both Lemmy and Mastodon accounts (and preferably Kbin accounts too)? I know the interfaces may need to be different, but the protocols are the same as far as I understand it, so it seems technically possible.

I was trying to figure this out earlier - does this work in reverse? Can I interact with mastodon posts through lemmy's interface?

I haven’t found a way to, and when I visit Lemmy communities via Mastodon, I can’t really post or upvote or downvote. The UI is totally different- literally like browsing Reddit using Twitter’s interface. An app that truly combines them will either need two interfaces or some pretty brilliant UI/UX design to make everything work in one interface

it would be exactly like kbin - a tab for microblogs and a tab for threads, with a ui fitting for each

The UI of squabbles.io actually feels good for this. It's a shame it's closed-source and doesn't federate.
