It seems like you can't discuss dev.to issues on dev.to, so I'll post this article here on Hashnode. Enjoy. TL;DR: Because I feel like what I say doesn't matter. The beginning Dev.to was the place where I started writing. Before it, I never publishe...

I had a similar experience recently on my article about my Journey into open source. I was able to get over 1k views on hashnode whereas on Dev.to I didn't even cross 100 views 🤧 I am not even sure why this happened but felt really bad.

Thanks for sharing this story! I think it can help others choose the right way for them to host their articles. I was myself deciding 3-4 months ago between Hashnode.dev and Dev.to

I'm happy about my decision :)

I wish you all the best in your blogging!

Thanks, but Hashnode also shadowbanned the same article I crossposted, so self-hosted is king.

I didn't read that from your article, you keep mentioning the dev.to

Kamil Gierach-Pacanek yes, because Hashnode will get a separate post

This is so unfortunate and heart-breaking! I'm sorry you've had to face things like these. Wishing you better luck for the future. Keep doing what you do best, kudos.

Thanks! Can’t let this disappoint me for too long.
