I think you're remembering wrong. The communities that have moved so far have been a manual affair: a post on the old community with a "We've moved" post, locking that community, and starting up brand new somewhere else. It's a fresh start - nothing is migrated. It's very likely to be technically impossible to move communities in the way you're imagining.
I think you might be right. Having found a couple of communities that moved instances this seems to be the way its going
It's the same way it worked on Reddit, so nothing new here.
That's indeed how I moved a few.
It's usually fine
