Discord servers are a game-changer for this. Many authors run their own servers where they ping everyone for new chapters. Even if they don't, big community servers for genres like progression fantasy or litRPG often have dedicated channels where bots or members post update links. The community aspect is a bonus—you can discuss the chapter immediately after reading. It turns waiting for updates into a social event.
Calendar reminders. Seriously. If a story updates every Tuesday and Friday, I have a repeating calendar event. It doesn't tell me if it updated, but it tells me when to go check. This works best for extremely reliable authors or official serializations from big publishers. It decouples me from the anxiety of constant checking and builds it into my schedule.
I use browser extensions like 'Distill Web Monitor' or 'Visualping.' You point them at a specific element on a webpage, like the 'Latest Chapter' title, and they check it at intervals you set. If the text changes, you get an alert. It's a bit technical to set up for each story, but it's the ultimate in bespoke, automated tracking.
The podcast 'Follow' model is the holy grail. Apple Podcasts doesn't care where the audio file is hosted; you subscribe and it shows up. We need a universal 'Readcast' standard for text. Until then, we're stuck patching together notifications from a hundred different sources. The fragmentation is the biggest barrier for new readers, I think.

Old-school forum signatures. On some dedicated web novel forums, users will have signatures that list what they're currently reading with hyperlinks and the latest chapter number. They update them manually. By reading through a thread, you see these moving billboards in every post. It's a communal, decentralized tracking system. You learn to recognize usernames who have taste similar to yours and just watch their signature for changes. It's charmingly analog in a digital space.
