Hello Marcin
So dev.to has the original article, while you republish on Hashnode, for indexing and SEO purposes
But the bots crawl and recognize the article on dev.to as the original article
Am i right?

Sorry, I was mixing 2 things in my comment.

  1. How my articles are available online:

    • the "orignal", with canonicalULR pointing to is at hashnode. I have my onw domain there, and I want to build the SEO of it for long term benefits.
    • I republish at dev.to, medium, hackernoon. If I will find another decect dev blogging platform, I'll probalby republish there too.

  2. How it's easiest to achieve it:

    • first, I publish at dev.to - only because dev.to don't have a good importing tool
    • immedietly I import to hashnode - they have nice importer from dev.to
    • I set canonicalULR in dev.to to point to my domain run by hashnode
    • medium & hacker noon have decent import tools, so there I import direclty form hashnode

The dev.to before hashnode is just workaround about tooling the two platforms ofert. My focus is on hashnode - or rather, my own domain.
