Is anyone here interested in hosting an Ovarit clone made with the same Throat software that powers Ovarit? : https://gitlab.com/feminist-conspiracy/throat
It would look just like Ovarit!
Grandma can help us make an Ovarit clone if someone is interested in hosting it! :)
Here is an example of another site powered by the same software that powers Ovarit... : https://phuks.co/

And I don’t believe that counted their upfront investment
if this were to work, one would have to fundraise for that upfront investment first - then launch the site.
I hope someone will post realistic estimates of the upfront costs - and the ongoing costs too - so that we can all be on the same page, so to speak, about how much money would be needed overall. Even if I tried, there's no way I could ever come up with even the the most generalized ballpark figures on my own because I know absolutely nothing about making and maintaining websites.
agreed. I have no idea about the upfront costs either, and the ongoing costs I mentioned in my other comments are just based on a small amount of information that I don't really know further context about.
additionally, are there any possible ways that one could reduce the costs of running a new site, compared to what this existing one costs? I have no idea, maybe this one is already running as frugally as possible.
I'd be surprised if there were, given that this site is a target for people with tech skills and any future version of Ovarit will be too.
