I can’t be the only reddit migrant who often instinctually goes to a given community by typing /r/community, only to be 404d. If the /r/ path isn’t being used for anything else, is it possible to have it dynamically redirect to /c/ instead?

That’s interesting, I’ve seen links in that format but was never quite sure what was going on, thanks for the explanation! I get why it would be done that way, but at first blush it seems somewhag inherently problematic to establish a convention where you provide someone with an address and yet when they follow it, their browser will always leave them at a different address then what they clicked.
Though in this case, it didn’t even arise for links, but just me typing the old Reddit style URL into my browser bar by hand because I’m ancient.
