The thing with reposting content from your blog onto Medium is that there are two sources that have the same content, which penalizes your SEO.
The nice thing with Dev.to is that you can specify a canonical URL which tells search engine where the original version of your content lives and you don’t get an SEO hit.

If you use the Medium import tool, it will add a canonical link for you: help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/...
