What happened to the Tor feed?

Normally I read the Tor blog via LJ using the tag tordotcom. I recently realized I hadn't seen it for a while, and when I checked, "a while" was over two weeks -- the last visible entry was the the Harry Potter reread post about the epilogue. Which I suppose is fitting, but I want it back.
The question is, is there something wrong with the feed, or with me?
One of the things that drives me nuts about LJ is the fact that there doesn't seem to be a way to search for RSS feeds. You can scroll through the most popular ones, but you can't search for a name. If you can guess it (as I did for Ex Urbe), you can go to [tagname].livejournal.com. But tor.livejournal.com goes to a Russian site, and torblog.livejournal.com isn't registered.
Anyone have any suggestions for both the specific (Tor) and general (finding feeds) problems?

Date: 2016-06-16 08:49 pm (UTC)There was a point, last year, when the Tor folks overhauled everything and suddenly Feedly wasn't getting posts. As I recall, I had to start a new subscription on Feedly (with the same url!) in order to get around the problem. The old subscription started working again after a couple of weeks. I have no idea at all what happened. So it could be something that Tor did that means the LJ feed isn't connected to the exact right place any longer.

Curiously that's the same URL that's at http://tordotcom.livejournal.com/profile (whose last status is an error message). So... I got nothin. Maybe the same kind of problem that
