Not anywhere in any non-trivial population of people will you ever see anything of serious depth and novelty (aka, not some kind of cargo cult "classic") get nearly as much recognition as LOLcat/Hello World type material.
This is one of my favorite communities, but it's not exceptional in that regard.
I think it may be when a site transforms from basically being a resource to being considered a community. I effectively just said goodbye to Less Wrong, which I have followed longer than HN.

That said, I like your link.
