My second brain became a graveyard. I save thousands of things and never use them. What simple iPhone app brings them back?

A graveyard forms when saving has no next step. Every item goes in and nothing has a reason to come out. More tags will not fix that. A small link between a save and a moment in your week can.
In Nemos, when you save something you plan to act on, attach a reminder. It appears on your Lock Screen at that time with the item attached. For repeating things, build a routine, such as Sunday planning, and attach the articles or notes a step needs. Everything else can sit quietly, findable by search, and that is fine.
You do not need to clear the old pile. Import what you have, let search handle it, and only give reminders to the small number of things that deserve them.
When something else fits better: if your need is remembering what you read, Readwise resurfaces highlights by itself. Nemos will not randomly bring back old saves on a schedule unless you set one, and saving less is still a good idea.
