About bonus tip - you can start very easily at hashnode; add there custom domain & maintain those two blogs very easily. I keep on publishing on dev.to first; but I immediately import the new post to hashnode, and set canonical URL to the hashnode one.
dev.to seems to have bigger community, but hashnode isn't far behind. Being on two both platforms has a side effect of different post getting promoted by one or the other platform.

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.
How my articles are available online:
How it's easiest to achieve it:
The dev.to before hashnode is just workaround about tooling the two platforms ofert. My focus is on hashnode - or rather, my own domain.
Thanks Marcin that was helpful
Thanks for the tip @marcinwosinek !
I started using hashnode after reading your comment. I imported all my articles there, and now I have a question for you (as I am still new at this): should I set the canonical url to dev.to on my imported articles, or is it safe to change the canonical url of old articles in dev.to to point to the new article imported on hashnode ? Do you have an advice ? (I am talking only about the old/imported articles. For the new ones, I will set the canonical URL to hashnode).
Hello @derlin! I don't know if moving the articles around hurts your SEO. I was conservative myself, and after migrating my blog I only imported stuff and set the canonical ULR to original dev.to location.
Hey Marcin, I just started publishing some articles on dev.to. Your article helped me a lot. Thank you.
Helpful suggestions ! Thank you.
Pedantic Note: I understand that in casual language certain flavors of English use the generic term "brackets" for parentheses, but when writing for developers it's probably best to use more specific terminology.
Otherwise, another great article!
Will correct, not pedantic at all!
Think I fixed them, hard on phone! I will check in the morning when get to PC that I haven’t made a mistake!
Looks great. 👍 :)
Hey HuOfficial,
I just created my account to thank you for your wonderful article. You have a wonderful community in comment section. Thanks a lot 😍
Are you on HashNode? I could not find you their (sad emojy) I will never miss your snarky & engaging articles.
Thank you so much for the kind words! ❤ Glad you like my snarkiness 🤣
Yes I am on hashnode inhuofficial.hashnode.dev/ but I am currently writing a few series so I haven't released in a while (in fact, I stopped moving stuff to hashnode half way through so thanks for the reminder to put that back on the task list!).
I was going to start releasing this week but I just got a new job, so middle of April the content should start coming again!
I hope we get to interact some more either here or on hashnode when I return to releasing articles! Hopefully there will be enough snarkiness and silliness to keep you entertained 🤣❤
Very helpful as usual.
I always struggle with the opening paragraphs like why can't "hello read below" be enough 😂
🤣 if you did that on every article you could make it like a signature start, could be funny! 🤣
At last !! A good post to read !!
Well...I hope so, it would be ironic if I wrote a crappy post when I am telling people how to write better posts! 🤣
True. You have lead by example👍
Aww thanks, good to know I didn’t miss the mark! ❤️
Your title is clickbait. I expected another Joke but you seems to be serious here 😒
Told you, I am trying to become a grifter, so that means I have to clickbait!
I look forward to seeing the super high quality articles you all create! ❤
13+2: make it a list of actionable items. People seem to respond better to them even if they are long articles.
What, like 101 accessibility tips? 😉
No. More like "13++ More 🤯 Amazing 😍Tips for writing listicles [that will 🧨 blow people away]" or "3 general 🚀 Productivity 🚀 tools you should be using that you possibly haven't heard of ⁉"
(the emojis are key + the poster image on the first one is priceless 😋)
Yeah the artist is called nomad soul and they do some epicly funny images!
Told you in your article, I am learning the way of the grift! 🤣
Thank for this article I will apply in my next articles.
