Any reason to use nginx versus something like Envoy? Like, I really like nginx, but Envoy's xDS API is really great for on-the-fly changes. I also think it might scale better and have more relevant default values. I'm just not sure if Lemmy ties into nginx in some way, or if you're purely using it as a reverse proxy.
I'll note that most of my Envoy experience is from using it with k8s and a custom ingress controller, where my org handles millions of requests per second (across many Envoy pods). Deploying it standalone might make it less fun.
Nginx is part of the lemmy-ansible install. I've never heard of Envoy though. if you're interested in helping out you can always join the discord. We also set up a matrix room, but it doesn't have as much discussion in it yet. https://app.element.io/#/room/!hmRRJzTsXkNAGIDXNu:matrix.org
