Slowly exploring the lemmy ecosystem, since I don't want to use reddit, and was wondering if selfhosting would be a good idea?

I use it as reverse proxy already. Why do I need to install a reverse proxy for Lemmy?

You don't. Configure the one you already have and just remove that entry from your docker-compose. This is exactly why they're handled as separate containers.
