I thought about using my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ as a NextCloud server, but research told me it would be too slow to be useful. Any cool useful projects I can do, without any extra purchases? I’m extremely low on money currently.

You could do some much lighter selfhosted options:
Music server for self-hosted streaming if that is your thing
Work on security of the pi for TOTP backups or BitWarden hosting (there are some Linux hardening guides that are fun to implement and teach about security)
Syncthing for backups of phone non-media files (e.g. Tasker, daylio, OTP database, text backup, signal backup)
Mail server for having you own domain email
problebly many more ideas I am foegetting
What can I use to make the self hosted music streaming?
Funkwhale is an option if you’re okay with a fedi type platform. https://funkwhale.audio/
That’s great, ill look at it. Seems like i can host podcasts in there. Just what i was looking for.
You can use Jellyfin also. It is a complete multimedia manager. There is also a standalone Music app for it called Gelli.
I like the mail server thing, but I’ve read on Hacker News that its a headache that is unworth it. Spam emails will flood the server, and my own emails will be sent to the spam folders of other people. Any experience with that?
Many ISP will block email sending from their network anyways, so yes not worth the effort.
I set up a mail server for a project. And just had to write with t-online. And I think I got on their blocklist because I did a mistake in configuring the dns records accordingly. All the rest worked fine following a good guide.
When I have a personal homepage I will do a mail server, too.
