NeoCities.orgThere are a list of generally self-made static pages that people use are their personal blogs. Not locked into a specific platform or style, these pages have a very personal touch to them. The quality and topics range vastly from page to page. It's almost like browsing tumblr in a way. Below is a sub-list of pages I found at least mildly interesting.

EldritchdataA personal page diving into topics of self-reliance, and technical security. Funnily enough, you must disable JavaScript in your browser to view this page.

Birds And StarsA pleasant to look at page. Has some links to try and help with mental health, but it tickles me that they have a page dedicated to different bedroomes as depicted in anime

Responsible for my latest website iteration. They used to have a search engine for neocities and other blog sites that I was diving down. The search engine is gone, but there are other things here to look at. If you do want to search neocities, there is an official search on the neocities portal.

-
Cryptid WikiAs close to a universal bestiary as we'll likely get.

SDF Public Access UNIX SystemI discovered these people when I was diving down a rabbit hole to see how the internet looked... pre-web. Here you can get a free Unix shell, interact with a BBS, and generally poke about now-archaic technologies and games. Update: They now also host a Lemmy instance and a Mastodon instancce.
