Error: NG0301: Export of name 'ngModel' not found

So I'm trying to add a simple validation message.

App.Module.ts

import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
...
 imports: [ FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule, ]
})

HTML

<div class="form-group">
    <label>Nickname</label>

    <input type="text" class="form-control" 
    id="nickname" formControlName="nickname" 
    [(ngModel)]="MyProfileForm.nickname" name="nickname" #nickname="ngModel">

    <div [hidden]="nickname.valid" class="alert alert-danger">Nickname is required.</div>
</div>

.ts

import { FormBuilder, FormControl, FormGroup, Validators, FormsModule, NgModel } from "@angular/forms";
export class MyProfileComponent
{
    constructor(private fbdr: FormBuilder) { }
    People = ...;
    MyProfileForm: FormGroup;
    this.MyProfileForm = this.fbdr.group
    (
        {
            nickname: new FormControl(this.People.selfnickname, [Validators.required,  Validators.minLength(4)])
        }
    );
}

I've tried all answers of this SO.

Full stack from console:

Concern

There are some issues in your attached code that make the project unable to compile. Be sure you review and provide a Minimal, Reproducible Example.

Solution: Angular Template Driven Form

For Template Driven Form, you need to remove formControlName from input element.

Meanwhile, found out that you miss out required attribute in the input element that leads to the error message unable to be displayed.

And remove all related Reactive Form code if you prefer for Template Driven Form.

my-profile.component.html

<input type="text" class="form-control"
 id="nickname" [(ngModel)]="People.selfnickname" name="nickname" #nickname="ngModel"
 required>

<div [hidden]="nickname.valid" class="alert alert-danger">Nickname is required.</div>

Solution: Angular Reactive Form

For the Reactive form, you should remove [(ngModel)] from FormControl as it is deprecated.

my-profile.component.html

<form [formGroup]="MyProfileForm">

  <div class="form-group">
    <label>Nickname</label>

    <input type="text" class="form-control" 
  id="nickname" formControlName="nickname" 
  name="nickname">

    <div [hidden]="MyProfileForm.controls['nickname']?.valid" class="alert alert-danger">Nickname is required.</div>
  </div>
</form>

my-profile.component.ts

export class MyProfileComponent implements OnInit {
  MyProfileForm!: FormGroup;
  People: { selfnickname: string } = {
    selfnickname: ''
  };

  constructor(private fbdr: FormBuilder) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.MyProfileForm = this.fbdr.group({
      nickname: new FormControl(this.People.selfnickname, [
        Validators.required,
        Validators.minLength(4)
      ])
    });
  }
}

Would suggest Angular Reactive Form documentation as a great resource for you can to follow the instructions and guidelines while creating your form.
