Yeah agreed that's a workaround but this issue is common for services relying on the fediverse and more globally for decentralized services.
I mean you can't expect to know each and every e-mail address of every domains when you sign up with a mail provider. You would need some kind of agreement between two providers to share user lists.

Yeah for sure. Discoverability ain't a trivial topic in a decentralized/federated context, but it needs to be tackled.
