In line with our userbase growth (I think we flew over 100.000 accounts), we need to scale up various quotas we had in place. Up until today, users were limited to 10 upvoats per 24 hours if their CCP was lower than X. I just bumped this limit to 100 upvoats per day. Let's see how it goes.
Also, we are working hard on optimizing our existing code before throwing your donation money at more servers. And yes, my vacation is no longer a vacation even though I am still away from home, we're way past that point now. I am putting all my time on handling this influx and I want you guys to know that I won't be able to relax until voat load time goes down to under 1.5 seconds.
Edit: you can try upvoating this announcement post to test if the limit increase works (hehe)

You guys are doing incredible with this. Thank you for giving me an alternative to that piece of shit that is reddit and do you have a mobile app?

Not officially just yet (I think some of them are in development). But you can use community created apps: Vulcan/Boats for Voat or Versa if you'd like to.
I prefer to use Boats.
And oh.. those are only Android apps for now.

I didn't know about the Boats app. Thanks for mentioning it! Just downloaded and of the three Voat apps I've tried so far it's the most user friendly. Boats for Voat link for anyone interested: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SpaceMonkey.Boats

I also just grabbed the Boats app. I have to agree on the user-friendly front! I'm going to reserve judgement on apps though until Voat is running at full speed, since I don't think its quite fair to judge yet!

Right. Sometimes the apps are slow to load pages and I know it's probably Voat servers, so I don't hold that against them. So far I like Boats because it has a good layout and it loads the comments in the app while the other two, Vulcan & Versa, loads comments in a separate browser. I think its great we already have android app developers on board for Voat. Thank you to the creators! And big thanks to Atko for making Voat! And thanks to Pao for making it grow lol.
