    Technically it’s the HTML markup for &. When publishing the title it stores it as

    & amp; (with no space)

    and the browser interprets it as & but when a bot posts it elsewhere it reads and reproduces the entire string as plain text. Would take a single function to fix the bot.

    edit: Lemmy keeps interpreting the markup as just & lol
