Sadly no, there's no migration option like we have on Mastodon, it's all manual here for now.
I've had to do it once to move away from Beehaw though and honestly it wasn't as bad as I expected, just open all your subs in a new tab and paste the new home instance into the url before the /c/ and refresh them all, that let me get most of them without copy pasting to search each one.
How would this work with this example magazine from kbin? https://kbin.social/m/tech this should become the following, shouldn't it? https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
Ah right if it formats Kbin magazines differently from your end yeah you'd need to edit the URLs a bit more like you have done there. Migrating from one Lemmy instance to another, I just had to replace the "lemmy.world" (or in my case beehaw) bit with a new instance if you see what I mean so it wasn't too bad.
Sorry there's no better way, I hope you don't have as many subs as I do lol.
