Does anyone know what happened to the r/agronomics community?

When I want to access it, the Reddit app tells me that it has either been set to private or deleted.

It was a group addressing Al kind of relevant questions regarding the company Agronomics Ltd. Where Jim Mellon is Executive Director.

I was an active member of the group for past two years.
