SPMT breaks "Newsfeed.aspx" page, when migrating EMPTY SharePoint 2013 site to Communication site
For the ones, who might hit this issue - there is an easy workaround. After you pre-create a Target site (and before you start SPMT migration session), you need to Disable "DenyAddAndCustomizePages" for that particular site using the following command:
Set-SPOSite -Identity {Site Url} -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0
With that setting configured, "Newsfeed.aspx" remains healthy after SPMT migration is done. Tested on 2 different tenants and a number of sites.
I'm grateful to O365 Support team (and specifically Damien Haince), for helping us with this workaround.
