It’s not though, is it? You’re replying to a question post here, in a community for questions. A significant portion of Lemmy is communities for questions, media, memes, and tech conversations.
Of the posts that share links, a decent number of those are either posted with a summary to encourage discussion, or are at least posted by a human that you can speak to. A headline and link to another site, posted by a bot, does nothing to encourage interaction with Lemmy. It’s literally a link that points to content somewhere else
