I was under the assumption that I can use one fediverse account across all ther fediverse apps, but this doesn’t seem to be the case.

I.e. I downloaded the mastodon android app and tried to select kbin.social as the server, but it gives an error.

Same for jerboa, it won’t let me connect to kbin.social, saying invalid credentials.

Is this something on the roadmap or am I simply wrong with my assumption?

    sure, but I thought ActivityPub is a common protocol they all use to allow interoperability.

    It does, but it deals only with content, not with identity federation.

    You can access and interact with content from other services that implement ActivityPub (but not all, not every service implements the whole stack).

    You can access Kbin posts/communities from your Mastodon account. You can also send messages and see Mastodon content from your Kbin account.
