Do we use the same initiative every round, until combat is over, or roll a new initiative every round?
OOC:
In 5e, Initiative rolls are made at the beginning of the encounter, and turn order remains the same every round of the encounter.
You do not re-roll Initiative every turn.
That being said, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that you don't post your PCs action until your turn is up. This is especially true if your PCs turn comes after the enemy's turn. If you post that your character is moving to a specific space and attacking a specific target, and the enemy's turn comes before yours and they move to a different space on the battlemap, you've basically moved your token to an empty space and forfeited your action for the round. If you post out of turn, and your posting becomes obsolete by the time your PC's turn comes up in the round, you forfeit your turn. As the DM, there's is no guarantee I'm going to leave a monster standing in a specific place simply because someone declared out of turn that they were going to attack that monster when their PC's turn eventually comes up later in Initiative order.

"Battle excites me!" Quinny laughs maniacally as her euphoria sends her in a barbarian's state of rage! The half-orc runs towards her mark and lashes at the goblin with her whip.
Wapesh! The sound of cracking whip fills the silence together with Quinny's laughter.
OOC:
Move: P9
Bonus Action: Rage
Action: Whip Attack vs Goblin 2 (2nd roll is for advantage or disadvantage)
OOC:
At this point we're still resolving Severus's actions for Round 2. I'm going to assume that this is going to be Quinny's Action when her turn comes up in Round 3. I appreciate the enthusiasm and I'm going to allow it this time, but from here on out I'm going to insist that players don't post their PC's actions until I declare a new round has begun, and I strongly recommend you wait until your PC's turn is actually up or risk your post turning obsolete as circumstances change.
Severus crashes through the foliage, hops down from the trail's embankment and runs to flank the Goblin engaged in combat with Mathias immediately going into a barbarian rage at the sight of the goblin's badly bleeding chest.
OOC:
Round 2 ends! Round 3 begins!
Turn order is as follows:
-->1. Osvaldo
2. Alstaer
3. Goblins
4. Quinny
5. Mathias
6. Severus
Mathias and Severus have Goblin 2 flanked, and any melee attacks by
Mathias and Severus are at Advantage against Goblin 2 only
assuming the Goblin is still alive and flanked on their turn.
