I immensely enjoyed reading this article!
As someone who started on Medium and later moved to Dev Community before finally building a personal blog/portfolio (under construction) site using a domain I actually own and control, I have often wondered how to best approach SEO, canonical links, and most of all, the P.O.S.S.E. principle for my articles.
I do have a question, though, so perhaps you could give me some advice. Obviously the Medium articles belong in part to Medium. I can't change that. But what about my articles originally published on DEV Community?
Is there such a thing as second chances where canonicals are concerned? Can I "migrate" my existing content to my own domain and retroactively "reverse-syndicate", back to DEV? And even if I could, can you think of any negative implications where SEO is concerned?
I feel rather silly to ask this considering I have a good bit of dev/SEO experience, but I've never really tried to change a canonical across domains or encountered any situation where I needed to before now. 😅
@ben feel free to weigh in also; I feel that you may have some insider knowledge that is relevant, at least where DEV Community is concerned. 😎
Sorry for the rambling question and thanks in advance!
