These curated discovery services require RSS and Atom feeds. My site doesn't even have those. Looks like I'm too small for the small web.

Same here, but I'm considering adding it. I already have HTML, so it can't be that hard to add another format. More onerous is needing to write a blog post at least once a week.
And woe betide thee whose website isn't a blog.

That's big web thinking. A small website doesn't need to be discoverable. It's supposed to be for you, and if someone else stumbles upon it, and finds it useful or entertaining, that's a bonus.

I get the sentiment, but it has to discoverable to some extent, otherwise there's no real point in publishing it on a webserver.

I suppose just having the website online is enough to make it discoverable by search engines.
I have no idea how but people independently discovered my work and submitted it here on HN, reddit and lobsters. For a long time I avoided submitting it myself because I hate advertising with a passion and I absolutely did not want to advertise.
Really made my day when I came here and saw my domain on the front page.
