Browsing voat posthumously

Post by OneOfTheBoys »

@SearchVoat i don't know much about coding or how the bot etc worked. Just went to have a look at the voat statistics all time posts and they were just numbers really.

Is there a way or would it be possible to create a way to browse an archived voat? I get you don't have the website code but could search filters be added like search v/whatever for " " (space or nothing or any keyword or partial word?) and sort results by post voat count?
I kind of wanted to see what the top comment and post of all time was, or at least most commented post.

Probably a huge ask but I know so little of coding thought I might ask in case it is fairly simple you just hadn't thought of it or something like that.

Here is a search of the subverse 'whatever' for 'dude' https://searchvoat.co/search.php?t=dude&s=whatever

Is that what you meant?

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly up/downvotes are the only public data I don't have, so I can't reliably produce lists of posts by vote count.

Hmm... now I think about it, I do have some vote data which I used for compiling the v/VoatStatistics Top 50 posts, so it might be possible to reconstruct something. It wouldn't be exactly correct but it might still be interesting. Let me ponder on it some more.
