Whether or not Lemmy supports this at this point, I dunno, but it's easy enough to code your username verification to remove all +s and periods before continuing to ensure uniqueness.
Period can be removed with gmail emails. However, for +s, the whole part after + and before @ needs to be removed if removing+ as that part indicates the folder emails come to. Yet, the same issue would still remain for any Google Workspace emails as they also support + but doesnt end with gmail domain.
