I’m thinking about it. Do you need a domain name as well?

Yes you need a domain but that is usually quite cheap

You do need valid TLS and a cert can’t be directly issued on an IP.

Yep you need a domain name pointing to your instance when you run the installation of Lemmy and it will create a let's encrypt https cert for your site automatically.
