Help me understand: they just migrated and already have 21k stars?

It was previously a read-only mirror.
Yup, here I was wondering why I already had it starred if this move only happened today, but then reached the same conclusion that it was probably a mirror repository before.
No, it looks like it's been available on GitHub for a while, but development wasn't done there: https://star-history.com/#nginx/nginx&Date
Stars on github are completely meaningless, since there are services online you can hire to increase stars.

In my project a considerable amount of stars come from blank accounts, that like also non-paying projects to avoid detection.

I moved to codeberg now for my non work projects.
