Its best if you improve the existing site, that way you dont have to worry about hosting, or directing users to your new site.

I do, although the sections in Mordor are a bit tedious to get through. But its worth it for all the details that were left out of the movies.

I pay around 80€ per month for the lemmy.ml server, plus a few euros for image hosting and domain. So that’s around 3 cents per active user.
