OCI uses Dockerfiles and runs Docker images as docker images are just KVM image, which is what OCI runs. Nix is absolute overkill for the orchestration of a web server workload and would be better for managing the container host (whatever you’re running kubernetes or docker swarm on).
I don’t really know how to put this, but nearly every single web service you encounter and interact with is built using a dockerfile just like how Lemmy is doing. If you’re going to disqualify Lemmy as a viable platform based on it having a dockerfile, I got bad news
