Description
I'm not 100% sure I have the perfect solution, I just know that this confuses people:
In the first, I know the second is federation, first is email, there's a icon. But perhaps we can still do better explaining things - like with a tooltip perhaps? Or a mouse-over effect?
In the 2nd screenshot, the mess is a bit worse - I don't even understand myself what the 3rd is...
Does it make sense to instead of repeating what the user typed, say something like
- send an email
(email address) - share to other server
(username on servername) - invite to guest account
(email address)

Research direction
Start with the issue screenshots and proposed labels for the sharing drop-down; no source file, test, or entry point is named. Done should make the email, federation, and guest-account choices understandable without relying on the user to interpret repeated input text.
