I don't get that feeling. I follow plenty of active people and my site still seems to get a steady stream of visitors.
Maybe I just need to follow some more. I am following quite a few, but only see a batch of strong users and the rest never update.
You could use a static site generator and then upload your files using https://neocities.org/api that’s what I was doing for the longest time
Well, things are off to a bumpy start. Got a Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 and it's doing a lot of freezing and crashing so far. I've uninstalled some extensions and it seems to have helped a bit. We will see. Today has been a headache in general. Haha
