I've seen voat mentioned in various subreddits whenever someone asks for a reddit alternative. I imagine the surges come whenever voat is mentioned and the comment is upvoted enough to be seen en masse
If I'm not mistaken the first huge one was when FPH was banned in reddit. That crashed Voat for a coupe of days. Then the next one was after Victoria was fired. You will find that Voat is similar to reddit but not actually the same.
I do! I kind of cruise reddit a little bit still, But that is Strictly because all the content hasn't moved here yet. I hope that's understandable, I'll probably trash my reddit account at some point.
EDIT: I reallly hope you guys can afford some better servers eventually, Because good god...

I'm just glad the site is up and running with all the increased traffic!

It's awesome to see threads with 800+ 1200+ 1500+ Upvoats. It means the site grew exponentially in a couple of days.

If i might ask, What triggers the surges? I just randomly heard about somebody mentioning it on a subreddit and checked it out.

It's because reddit kills this site when there's drama posted on the front page and someone mentions it in the comments.

I still do, too - I use some of the default subs to get content and post them here. I never comment on the defaults though, getting sick of Reddit.
