Personally, as well as NextCloud, I'd host instances of LibreX, CloudTube, PiHole, Gitea, XMPP, and CryptPad.

If it's fun you're after, though, why not try hosting a Minecraft server? And how about XMPP or Matrix, to keep in touch with friends?

What's your xmpp server of choice?

I haven't really looked into it much, as I don't currently have enough time or money to self-host anything, but I'd probably go with Prosody to start with.
