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.
