I'm confused. What's the purpose of a post linking from one post in this community to another?

MODERATORS
There's no point at all.
Turns out, Mastodon interoperability means each Lemmy community is treated as a user on Mastodon. If you tag one of those "user" accounts on Mastodon, it apparently creates a post in the community.
This was me learning that unfortunate fact.
Username checks out in this case./j
Guilty as charged.
I get the impression that Mastodon and kbin.social are technically interoperable with Lemmy, but not very well.
The Fediverse is definitely still evolving. It's all very cool, albeit clunky at times.
I'm curious to see how the functionality improves over time.
Kbin is very interoperable with Lemmy. At least from the perspective of a Lemmy user, I can interact with Kbin instances as though they're on Lemmy.
But you're right that Mastodon interaction is a bit more awkward. I believe Kbin and Mastodon interact a little more naturally than Lemmy and Mastodon.
