new norm: link to related posts

Please. When starting posts that mentions "the other big thread today" or "discussions elsewhere" etc, can we please kindly provide LINKS to said discussions.

It is just impossible to follow what is going on if you are even a few hours late or the feed doesn't show you.. search doesn't work there is no way to find out.

but why should I even need to search. why not just help the reader along?

by way of leading by example, I'll link to the most recent such post: https://hexbear.net/post/7766227 but this is continually going on and I ?believe? even OP of that post has said as much in the past.

As a secondary part of this norm, I will suggest that if a post is made that doesn't adhere, someone else would make a comment which includes the relevant links. and everyone ought to upbear it and OP as a matter of cordiality will edit their post to include it when they see it.

Hope that makes sense.
