sounds exactly how you think it does
    
Think: meet up
 
In Use: 
   
“Okay, Miss, I know what you’re thinking. Yes, I was gone for like 20 minutes. Yes, I know that is wrong. Yes, I know I missed important information. Yes, I know we will have to sit together during recess to catch me up. But I had to link with Tobias in the primary hall bathroom because Amy just broke up with him over snapchat. So I guess you could say that I was developing my socioemotional skills? Which I personally believe to be a great use of class time.”

Pop Quiz: Which is not acceptable?
         Link at the mall?  ​  Let’s link yesterday!  ​  I don’t wanna link.     
           
What else?
       
Djo’s “Link” (no it’s not that kind of link, but it deserves a shoutout).
  @Djo (YouTube) >        
People in the comments agree that “lets link” needs to be followed with context.
  @reembandzz_ (TikTok) >        
Some people use “let’s link soon” to kick the can down the road.
