1. A method, performed by a first node, for handling subscriptions in a communications network, the first node operating in the communications network, the method comprising:
obtaining a first previous indication, the first previous indication indicating a capability of a second node operating in the communications network to report accessibility for a device to at least one additional domain in the communications network,
determining to send a first indication, from the first node to the second node, based on the obtaining of the first previous indication,
subsequent to obtaining the first previous indication and determining to send the first indication, sending, to the second node, the first indication, the first indication requesting subscription to report new accessibility for the device to a second domain different than a first domain currently accessible by the device operating in the communications network, and
