Advice on getting upvotes so one can post....i have commented on many posts in order to get upvoted but the downvotes keep negating my count..IE....14 up/8 down-net 6! TY in Advance....still learning this new format!!
An upvote is supposed to be for contributing to the conversation: offering a reasoned, or interesting, or insightful or funny comment. But some people use it for agreement. I recommend trying to contribute instead of trying to karma whore.
As for why you're not getting upvoted a lot:
Don't expect as many upvotes as Reddit. Voat is a much smaller site.
Your comments are written in a shorthand that turns people off. Try taking the effort to properly type out what you're trying to say.
Don't expect each comment to get upvotes. Don't worry if they don't. If you keep contributing you'll quickly get the upvote level you're looking for.
Try commenting and submitting content to other subverses. Even subverses without a lot of activity. People are subscribed to them, and people reviewing your history will view you as a contributor. Just browse /all and subscribe to what you like.
Thanks!!--New to Voat and never did Reddit so this format is new to me.....Good advice--appreciate you taking the time to detail....LOTS of new Q comming on board here and will have the same Qs as I do...trying to get seasoned quickly in order to help them all aboard!!

Welcome, feel free to look around, chat up some goats, and try not to demand censorship... we tend not to like that.
