I heard about DEV a while back from a former colleague who was posting regularly back then. She won a few challenges and prizes and spoke about how the community was so welcoming.
This was years ago. Aside from reading a post here and there, I never wrote or commented actively on the platform.
Things changed a year ago when I wrote my first post: We launched on product hunt this week was it worth it.
It got a total of 7 reactions. Some of those reactions were mine...
I naively thought that I could just release a post and that it would get immediate traction.
