I’ll clarify two things, let me know if your problem is not addressed.
For automatic crossposting, the posts link back to the original blog (not blogpost) in the place shown here:
Note that this does not appear on mobile, because space is very limited and we didn’t figure out how to fit it into the UI.
If a person makes a linkpost by adding a link to the small field at the top of the editor, then you get a link to a specific post. That looks like this:
This process is not automatic, linkposts are only made manually.
Oh okay got it! It looks like the behavior is as intended, but one downside from my perspective is that the blog link is not very visually prominent as is—I would expect most readers to not notice it. I care about this mostly because I would like more people to know about my blog’s existence, and I think it could be fixed if there was the option to add a small avatar next to the blog name to make it more visually prominent (I could imagine lots of other fixes too but just throwing a concrete one out there).
On a separate not it looks like the latex is not rendering in the post: I used and to go in and out of math mode, but I’m not sure the LW editor parses that. (My blog embeds a javascript header that loads mathjax but I assume that is not loaded with the automatic crossposting.)
I think it would make more sense for the blog link to link to the post. If you’re interested in the blog itself and not the blogpost, it’s just one extra click (on the logo, or home button, or whatever), but if you are looking for the specific blogpost and it just links to the blog then you have to search for it, which isn’t always convenient.
@LW mods: Looks like this one also doesn’t link back to Bounded Regret? Could it be because of the italicized text that I put at the top?

I converted the post from the html import in LW Docs editor and manually fixed up the LaTex, which handles it for today.
Yeah, let’s also make it a link post then. Some people prefer more prominence, some prefer less, for their cross-posts.
