I'm surprised how many of those I've never seen before, even after spending more than a decade on HN and arguably way too much every day. Such a good surprise :)
I wish the page used the CSS :visited selector and provided a link on the index page, so we could easily see which one we've visited before or not.
This was also my first instinct. Wikipedia says the US Baseball Hall of Fame has 351 inductees currently, for a sport that has existed in professional form since 1876. That feels like a more appropriate rate for this kind of enshrinement. Over 3000 in the span of less than 20 years is far too fast. The entire English language literary canon doesn't have that many entries.

some of the older ones are pure gold
The ole legendary blog post. Get these submitted to the National Register of Historic Blog Posts.
Can 3100 links be legendary? I feel like there can be at most 310 legendary links
fair comment, i've probably exaggerated somewhat, but i think there are quite a few links outside of top 300 that are very interesting

Looks cool! Some of the listed posts are such a blast from the past
This is cool! Had to scroll way too far to find "wat" but it's a candidate.
Very cool. Do you have any plans to aggregate book recommendations and papers (via doi perhaps or other link hints) as well?
i think books already exist https://hackernewsbooks.com/
i've previously done wikipedia and youtube links popular on hacker news: https://www.orangecrumbs.com/ and https://www.orangecrumbs.com/v
