Where do you see this?

If you have over a small threshold of HN karma, you can enable "showdead" in your account settings.

dev.to submissions will appear as dead by default in the "New" queue. These may be vouched, though truth to tell, I don't bother.

"Dead" submissions won't appear in Algolia search.

Clarification: Showdead should be available to any account.

Vouching does require a small karma threshold.

You can ask HN moderators. There is no public list.

dev.to is also shadow banned on most developer subreddits and other news aggregators I know of.

HN is well known to have very “proactive” moderation, and as such kill low quality articles. As explained in this whole comment section, dev.to is almost entirely low-quality articles, and as such it’s not unexpected for HN to ban the site altogether.
