Flagging for migration to Stack Overflow declined
While I did not handle that flag let me still comment on this (more generally).
First, yes, the post is off-topic here, yes, in principle something like this is on-topic on SO, thus one in principle ...

Why are there only three sites to which a question can be migrated?
The number of migration targets available for users is restricted, mostly to avoid incorrect migrations, as such migrations are difficult to undo and also impact another community.
Moderators can ...

What are the current statistics of migrations to other sites?
Overall there are very few migrations.
Over the last 90 days there were only 8 migrations to Cross Validated (the statistics site) and also 8 to Physics (one of them rejected). Moreover there were 2 ...

Migrating a question to Meta doesn't decrease reputation
The question still exists on the main site, so they keep their reputation – for now that is.

I asked A question On MSE, Which I now think can receive more attention from MathOverflow
The answer from Alex Ravsky completely answers your question, so there is no need to post on MathOverflow. Your question would not be appropriate for MO anyway, because your question is not about ...

If you truly think the question does not fit in on math.se and would be a perfect fit for scicomp.se, you can flag about it, but this occurs infrequently enough on math.se that including it in the ...

Should this question (that I wrote) be migrated to History of Mathematics SE?
I think a version of this question could fit on MathEducators.stackexchange or HSM.stackexchange, but I don't think it's a good fit in its current form for either. Moderators try to only migrate ...

Question does not gain answers in Math Stack Exchange. Would a migration to StackOverflow be a solution?
The bounty was only placed somewhat recently. There might still be hope.
As you speculate I assume there are not that many users familiar with Singular on the site. I doubt that Stack Overflow would ...

Tagging migrated questions
This is intended behaviour; the Stack Exchange software isn't able to determine which tags are appropriate for a question. It will suggest some when you're typing the question, but it will never ...

Migrating questions the simple way
The "DIY method" you refer to is called "cross-posting", proper migration would generally include deleting the local copy.

Questions with little traction here that could benefit from migrating to MathOverflow
I would recommend cross posting over migration, both because then you don't have to worry about time limits and because you get more exposure that way. I have done this once (I've only ever posted 11 ...

Migrate a question
My advice: wait a week before you conclude a question will not be answered.
