"I mean, what do we expect to happen when people forget their server name?"
Speaking as someone who has actually provided tech support for this over the past 5 years, people can find the name of their server on the email they received when they signed up.
People cannot sign up without an email, and they always receive an email with the name of their server on it
This is not the massive barrier you are making it out to be. They can just check their email if they forget.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @UlrikeHahn@fediscience.org The one time someone asked me how to figure out which Mastodon server they used to sign up, and then actually stuck with the conversation, I asked them to look up the email, and they told me they don't keep emails going back far enough. 😄
But yeah, it can work in principle.
