Lemmy realy should not randomly emit errors for no reason, there should be no need for retries in this case. If the specification specifies a JSON response, and the server randomly provides HTML, that is a bug in the server.
When you get a 502 error, that's not coming from lemmy, it's coming from nginx. If you're saying that nginx should send any error data along with the status in json if the accept headers require it, that's a task for nginx but it wouldn't happen in this case anyway since the json wouldn't be what they were expecting anyway. The app should be handling non success responses better is the point being made here.
