I haven't used Mastodon and so the impression I get is that it doesn't have an easy way to look up other accounts or discovery of accounts on other instances.

How does user account discovery work? How do you think it could be made better?
- failrate 4y agoTwo ways: find instances relevant to your interests a la Usenet If you already know the person's name, use the search field. [Edit] this is not how to improve it. This is how discoverability in Mastodon currently works.
- paranoidrobot 4y agoI found DeviantOllam's introduction on Mastodon/Fediverse[1] to be quite interesting and useful. He covers contact discovery/migration from Twitter, and also mentions a fediverse contact search, although I forget what it was.
