Some services, while they don’t advertise RSS feeds anywhere on the website, still have them if you look hard enough!
https://<domain>/blog-feed.xml
https://medium.com/feed/<username>
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<channel id>
The channel id is usually hidden from the user, and can be found using websites like this
Apparently this is really complicated, and the only thing I can find is a greasyfork script that does the job. You will need it install either the TamperMonkey or ViolentMonkey browser extensions to install this, and be sure to enable developer mode.
Assuming the website doesn’t publish its own feed, you can make do with a much less detailed feed like so
https://neocities.org/site/<username>.rss
Since neocities can’t really determine anything detailed from the updates, it will give you a generic title like “<username>’s website has been updated” which is why a self-published feed is preferable.
