Publish articles on Medium and dev.to to reach their built-in audiences, but always set the canonical URL to point back to your own blog. This way you get distribution from the platform while search engines credit your domain as the original source. The content should genuinely help the reader, not be a thinly disguised ad. Spammy content gets flagged on both platforms.
