Hello,

Apart from the use of keyserver, it is relatively easy and highly recommended to use WKD (Web Key Directory) for PGP-Keys.
Another alternative is DNS OPENPGPKEY Record.

Hello

Perhaps my question is strange an silly ;-)

More and more I see messages which are signed - but the author didn't
store his public key on a keyserver (eg. hkps://keys.openpgp.org) -
sometimes a footnote in the massages gives a link where the key could
be downloaded. Sometimes this link has a bad or strange https
certificate...

What are the reasons for such a procedure and what is the advantage?
