I think a simple throw-away profile card with a QR code is the wrong approach for an app that people will use as their social media app (text chat, voice chat, forums, etc etc), but the problem is real.
Instead I would propose a full Profile Page, with direct link (think fluxer.app/profile/@username.discriminator) that can be linked and be public facing.
The page should work the same as the existing profile card (Add to Friends, Message, mutual servers, etc etc), but in a page form with URL, instead of a modal.
Having it as a page will allow you to share the link directly, instead of remembering / having to copy the username. This would also allow you to share your profile as a button on other websites (and even verify the link on social media sites like Mastodon).

Don't people have to be friends before being able to DM each other outside of groups? I think I personally would be willing to have the risk of spam in exchange for the real solution of having my friends on the platform
