Author's dev.to experiment shows one post daily is better than five

An individual tested the effectiveness of publishing multiple posts on dev.to within a 24-hour period about their MCP server. The experiment yielded only 11 views and no reactions or comments, suggesting that the platform may limit algorithmic distribution to one post per author per day. The author plans to adjust their strategy to one post daily, focus on weekdays, utilize canonical URLs, and leverage the series feature for future content. AI
