If you use a popular instances your account will show up in searches, likes and other things.
But when using an independent server, one would need to type your full username, and then try and see if such an account exists.
if you only type the display name, or username without the server address, nothing will show up.
Which is fine for chat apps like Matrix or E-Mail, but not for platforms where discoverability is important.
