Same, I love the idea of cryptography and breaking it but I'm not that good and don't really have the time, so I dabble a bit and mostly enjoy from afar. I've made a few pen and paper ciphers but don't know how to have anyone test them.

There's got to be Internet people that will!

Yeah I thought so, but I feel weird asking people to solve my random cipher (I feel like a Reddit sub had a rule against asking that). I don't actually know if it's good or bad or ridiculous. I barely know the terms. I will have to look around more I guess. I'm sure there people who are the opposite and want to break random ciphers.
