| Jan 10 at 12:57 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | I guess it's worth pointing out that the question mentions two different (albeit related) things. One of them is migration - this happens after several close voters choose to move a question to MSE But "directing people to MSE" could be reasonably interpreted as mentioning MSE in comments. For the latter, it would be next to impossible to get some reasonable statistics. (If a question was migrated to Mathematics, you can still see that in the question's timeline. But you won't find out whether somebody suggested MSE to the OP in some post on MO - especially if the MO post is now deleted.) | |

| Jan 10 at 9:40 | comment | added | YCor | My current knowledge of MathSE is mostly concentrated on some tags (group theory and a few more specific). While the overall quality is not high, it certainly not as bad as suggested — the content/noise ratio is low but I'd not call it not "close to zero". The community tendancy at MathSE (for the last 5-6 years) is indeed to reject brief questions regardless of their contents if they are not presented as homework, showing efforts etc. This is indeed somewhat discouraging. (Well, this doesn't address OP's question.) | |

| Jan 10 at 7:36 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | You mentioned "common practice on MO of suggesting that a question be migrated to MSE". My impression is that closing a question of MSE level is more common than directly migrating it. One of the frequent close reasons mentions Mathematics - but it also includes a link to some site guidelines - see here: Revamping the closure reasons in 2022. One thing to consider could be mentioning list of suitable sites rather than only Mathematics - similarly as in the FAQ and ... | |
