Is this a boost issue or something else (lemmy.world)

So I researched it and it seems to be an issue with how boost (and many other places on the web) have automated escape characters in HTML, in other words because & is reserved in HTML for other things to actually parse an ampersand you need to write "&+amp" to escape the escape character. So whatever process boost is using for this may be not parsing correctly

Edit: apparently it's Lemmy as a whole, what I'm wondering is why do some users not see this then

I use the Connect app and it also has the same problem with ampersands
