    Does the added “amp” do anything more in the function? I’m the curious, not (entirely) dumb type

      It’s a failed html escape sequence for &

      some lemmy instances were having trouble with that for a while now. html used ampersand to encode special characters, and a regular ampersand gets encoded as &

      Somehow, the decoding sometimes breaks, and we get to see it the way it is here
