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

      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.
