It's full of open source projects from China that do this star astroturfing thing. The projects themselves are legit, but they like to signal this strength even when they are all pretty new. If you want some evidence, check some of the stuff I've submitted to HN (not the developer or anything related, but you can find pretty new projects in the note-taking or AI realm, and they all share that pattern)
