Do I really need one account per service? (lemmy.world)

I thought one of the advantages of the Fediverse was to have one account but access to many services. Is this possible just not common? I already have a Lemmy account and Mastodon and I didn't want to start making more just to try out the other services.

It's not federated identity, it's federated content.

Your instance can in theory access all the content including Mastodon, but there's some software incompatibilities preventing that from quite working right because the way Lemmy does things is quite different than how Mastodon and other microblogging services do.
