Goats,
One of the best "behind the scenes" goats at voat has been @SearchVoat over at v/SearchVoat. He has indexed all of Voat's public data (majority) and you can access it at https://searchvoat.co. I consider him to be trustworthy and honorable.
Don't panic out about saving all your old data before Voat is shutdown, it is Christmas and all.
Here is a post with more details: https://voat.co/v/SearchVoat/4170146
Hope this helps.

SearchVoat is missing a lot of if not all of the subverse pages. Really hope you work with them to get them archived.

Can you give me an example?

Here are a few and their original. Affects nsfw subverses too. Lots and lots of subverses are like this.

Ah ok, those URLs eg https://searchvoat.co/v/programming don't work at SV, my apologies. You can find the posts at https://searchvoat.co/?s=programming

Ive noticed that by searching in such a manner a great deal of submissions are omitted. Will there be any solution? Also due to site limits there seems to be no possible way to see a complete list of subverses either.
Dont want to sound ungrateful but im quite worried. Ive been rushing for four days with minimal results.

Have you read this? https://voat.co/v/SearchVoat/3192750
SV has everything you can see on Voat. If you have an example of a submission you can see on Voat but can't be found on SV let me know.
Did you click on "Subverses"?

I read it just now. Ive gone over my allotted search requests during my tests in trying to figure the site out and compare content.
If we can get a text file of all subverses that would be great. The ten page minimum is a bother unless you know exactly what you are looking for.
Going to be honest ive had very little sleep in the past four days and have been stressed. My mind isnt working great.
Do articles exist on voat after they pass the 20 page subverse limit or are they deleted?
Also s the contents of [Hot / New / Top : day, week, month, quarter, and all] every bit the same but in a different order?

Unfortunately SV doesn't have votes. So we can't see hot/top etc. Can only list by new, old and random.
There are 22,460 subverses in total, of which 14,241 appear to have been deleted on Voat. I can you a list of them if you like, although I'm not sure what that would be useful for. On SV you can search subverse descriptions and sort by number of subscribers, number of posts, most recent post or alphabetical.
They are not deleted, just inaccessible on Voat. You can still find them on SV, particularly if you use the date from/to options.

Please do provide a list. That would help a lot. If possible the deleted ones too. If you say you have it all including that which is past the first 20 pages when organized by date I can only hope so and trust you. Really hope the site is modified a bit since I find it very very cumbersome if not impossible to navigate in a way that lets me see all of voat.
