Is it possible to post to your own profile?

Or do I have to make a community to do this? Because I don't want to be banned from a bunch of communities for promoting my articles that I wrote

You can make a comm for it, or post the articles in a relevant comm. Or, you can make a mastodon account and do it that way.

I think lemmy is a lot less averse to users posting their own content as long as there is a proper summary, it isn't a youtube video and you disclaim it. I would also avoid cross posting.
A community is also a good option.

This is actually a feature in Reddit for those unaware.
It looks to me like that's functionally just posting in a subreddit created with your name, in which you're the only one allowed to post. So creating a community on Lemmy with your name and you as the only authorized poster would serve the same function.

I'm aware of the feature, it's been around since before I left. I'm saying that it looks functionally like they coded it to be nothing more than a subreddit named for you, in which you're the only one allowed to post. They may have put some sort of flashy nonsense over the top of it, but that's pretty much what it is.

Is it possible to tie my lemmy account to my Mastodon account?

You can just link it. But there's also something called mbin which seems to combine Lemmy and Mastodon but I don't know much about it.
