For those of you who have nice old, very alive sourdough starters and you don't sell chametz gamur - what are you doing? I feel so upset at the thought of throwing it out!

We threw it out.
I was just wondering what happened in the days before yeast on a year like this when you can’t make a new starter quick enough for shabbos? Did they just eat matzah for another week?

How do you make new starter? I got starter from someone and am not so happy to throw it out because I don’t know if I’d be able to get again. So can anyone lmk how to make it from scratch? Thanks!

Google it, it’s very easy, just takes a few weeks

Yes.
That is what they did.
Either matzah or pita.

I see someone on Instagram who says her Rav lets her give it to a friend as a gift before pesach.
After pesach, friend gives it back to her as a gift.

I made my own, it’s really simple and easy.
Start with
100G water
50G w/w flour
50G white spelt flour
Mix it well, leave it on your counter loosely covered, if you’re using a mason jar only add the top lid not the ring, if using a deli container just plop the cover on top without sealing it.
Every day you take off 50G of that mixture and add the same measurements of flour and water.
Mine took almost 3 weeks to become active.
Good luck!

I'm experimenting on that now. What tells you that it's active, IE ready to use?

If it bubbles up, doubles in size, within a few hours after feeding it

It can start bubbling and doubling in size a few days before it is ready.
It takes at least a week before it is ready - most websites say anywhere from 7-14 days depending on the temperature in your house.
The true test is if it floats in water.
One year after Pesach I made the mistake of seeing it double on day 4 and deciding that it was ready - spoiler alert…it was not!
Hatzlocha!
