    I’m currently trying to display categories from each post and was hoping to seperate each category link by a comma, except or the last category.

    <?php
		foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
		if($category->name=='Uncategorized') continue;
			$category_id = get_cat_ID( $category->cat_name );
			$category_link = get_category_link( $category_id );
			echo '<a href="'.$category_link.'">';
			echo $category->cat_name;
			echo '</a>';
		} ?>

    Any ideas?

    for instance:

    <?php $sep = '';
		foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
		if($category->name=='Uncategorized') continue;
			$category_id = get_cat_ID( $category->cat_name );
			$category_link = get_category_link( $category_id );
			echo $sep . '<a href="'.$category_link.'">';
			echo $category->cat_name;
			echo '</a>';
                           $sep = ', ';
		} ?>

    the added code is using a separator string $sep, which is echoed before the linked cat_name; it starts off as an empty string '', and gets set to comma and space ', ' after the first cat_name.
