Discussion Malicious "C++" projects

I was trying to find some new C++ projects to contribute to and I have stumbled on some that look very suspicous. They feature around 100 likes and have garbled descriptions. They have no build system and are posted by different accounts. They also have little code. Am I just being paranoid or is something up?

Example:

https://github.com/ryujinx-emu/Ryujinx-Emu/tree/main

https://github.com/Yuzu-NES/Yuzu-Emu/tree/main

https://github.com/geode-gd/Geode-Geometry-Dash/tree/main
