I've recently been wondering if Lemmy should switch out NGINX for Caddy, while I hadn't had experience with Caddy it looks like a great & fast alternative, What do you all think?
EDIT: I meant beehaw not Lemmy as a whole

Why? What's wrong with nginx?
While I can't speak for others, I've found NGINX to have weird issues where sometimes it just dies. And I have to manually restart the systemd service.
The configuration files are verbose, and maybe caddy would have better performance? I hadn't investigated it much
EDIT:
Nginx lacks http3 support out of the box
http3 is available in nginx 1.25 if you want to run their current release.
Oh, but is it by default enabled?
no idea, i run 1.24 - i do QUICK termination on CDN either Fastly or Cloudflare
If it's an option but not supported, well, uh? I don't think that's a good argument.
