I see a lot of answers saying "use both". Do you guys mean "Write the posts on a self-hosted site, then syndicate them to Medium and share those links on social media", as w1ntermute said?
I'm curious how you can use both. if you have two sites and share both links, what links would people share? Doesn't this make it more confusing for sharers?

- cocktailpeanuts 10y agoThank you, but I was more asking about how you would manage cross posting in terms of sharing, not in terms of technicality.
- andreareina 10y agoThey'd share whatever link they have -- people who found it on Medium would share the the Medium link, people who found it on LinkedIn would share the LinkedIn link, etc. There's going to be fragmentation, but the actual consequences won't be so bad as long as you keep everything synced.
