Keeping Voat's data when Voat shuts down (GreatAwakening)

submitted ago by Lurker17

I stole this from Searchvoat ... https://voat.co/v/SearchVoat/4170146

SearchVoat.co is an independent website not associated with Voat, Inc.

  • SearchVoat.co is not going to shut down in the foreseeable future.

  • SearchVoat.co already has a complete* backup of Voat's submissions and comments. This data does not generally include up/downvotes.

  • You can retrieve a copy of a Voat submission, including comments, by replacing voat.co in the submission URL with searchvoat.co. For example, this post is at https://voat.co/v/SearchVoat/4170146 and you can retrieve a backup at https://searchvoat.co/v/SearchVoat/4170146.

  • You can choose to download results from SearchVoat.co in CSV or JSON format, by selecting those options when you do a search. These downloads include up to 240 posts, but you cannot specify a page number, so narrow your search if you want more than 240 posts at a time.

  • I will add a shortcut to the SearchVoat.co front page to one or more Voat post mortem discussion forums TBA. Suggestions please.

  • If you want to delete your posts from SearchVoat, make sure you delete them from Voat before Voat shuts down then go to SearchVoat and hit edit/delete.

Is it simply a back-up or archive of voat, or can we post and comment there?

After VOAT shuts down it will be an archive. Until then, a back-up where you can see new posts and comments almost instantly. No posting or commenting through searchvoat. Great for searching keywords by subverse/poster/commenter/date or any combination.

OK, got it, thanks!
