Just wanted to give advanced notice that we will hopefully be pushing one of Voat’s largest updates yet this weekend.
This update will feature a new underlying system for organizing subverses which we are calling Sets (grouping of subverses). If you are an old time whoaverser/OG Voater you will remember that Voat used to have Sets but we had to turn them off for performance reasons.
This update will reintroduce Sets, but as opposed to being an add-on feature as previously implemented, this update involves completely replacing the underlying system of Voat with a Set based infrastructure.
I will provide more information on the specifics of these changes later; how they benefit Voat currently and how they fit into our future plans.
The release of this update depends on the progress of testing but we are really pushing hard for a release this Saturday or Sunday.
Also, I need a few dedicated users who would like to spend some time testing this new code. If you have an interest, please PM me. I will only send out info to a handful of people, so first come first serve.
Thanks Voat!
P.S. I know there are some situations that need admin attention. I will deal with these when this update is released.

notice the absolute lack of any community discussion on anything at all.
major voat changes are just happening, sometimes without our knowledge and most all now without our consent; we're not allowed to partake in deciding the direction of voat, as the founder intended.

There's been lots of discussion about you. But that's what you want right?
