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.
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.
Kbin works fine, since it segments its Lemmy-like Threads, and separates them from Mastodon-like Microblogs. You can filter between the two pretty nicely, although Lemmy and Mastodon don't have that kind of filtering on their own just yet, although I believe Mastodon is working on Lists, which are meant to do the same kind of thing, and help avoid clogging feeds.

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.

This was me learning that unfortunate fact.

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.

They do. Kbin tends to put them in a handy little "microblogs" section. It's not perfect, but it does work surprisingly well.
