Facts: Hacker News gets a ton of articles posted from Medium, but very few of them get to the front page. Last time I measured there had been 4,108 posts from medium.com in 2017 (largest source of news for HN), but less than 3% of them got some upvote traction.

So you seem to be sharing a similar sentiment towards Medium than the rest of the HN readers.

(Even posting tweets to HN gets them double the attention than a random Medium post)

i've noticed people seem to use medium but hosted on their own domain?

i suspect probably quite a few more front pages if you include that.

Can you compare to the stats for wordpress?

Can't get that out of the URLs, would need to actually crawl the stories.

They can both be redirecting to a custom domain.

Actually, I think that if you accounted only for the blog on medium.com you are ignoring all the medium blogs on custom domains, which probably have better content than the average.
