Is there any fediverse client out there (mobile or pc or web) that has support for multiple types of content, rather than just for one?

Most apps I find are only mastodon-like (including pleroma etc.), or only lemmy-like, or only peertube-like. One of the main benefits of the fediverse is that I could theoretically access all of those from one platform. But the clients I saw don’t seem to support it too well.

    But where would a unified Web client run in the first place? It would have to be installed on a Web server and, from there, access the Web servers of the various different server apps which would still be entirely different and independent installations.

    There are already web clients for the fediverse, like Photon for Lemmy

      For one specific Fediverse project each, yes.

      But what the OP is looking for is a Web client that lets you log into Mastodon and Lemmy and PeerTube all the same. Probably one that unifies your Mastodon, Lemmy and PeerTube timelines into one, rather than listing your Mastodon timeline next to your Lemmy timeline next to your PeerTube timeline in three separate columns, TweetDeck-style.

      Or maybe what the OP is looking for is a Web server and client that unites all features of Mastodon and Lemmy and PeerTube in one Fediverse project so that only one single login is needed for everything.

      Neither of these exists.

        I know, I was just replying to the part I was quoting. Point is, hosting that web client wouldn’t be an issue.

          It would just either have to be on a server that also offers all server applications covered by the Web client so that everything has the same domain.

          Or you would have to tell people to register accounts on foo.social, bar.social and/or baz.social, but the Web UI is on qux.social. Bit confusing for newbies who only knew centralised silos five minutes ago.

            But wasn’t the point of the post that it should, in theory, be possible to use a single account for all the different services by having a client that supports them all, since these different services federate with each other? I don’t know if that’s currently possible without making changes on the backend but if you need different accounts for each service, even if it’s handled on the back-end, that kinda goes against the whole point of the post, no?
