Looks like a formatting typo from the OP. Here's what it looks like on my instance (not Boost).

And another example from another sub:

It is not, maybe it has something to do with the client or the instance from where you see it, here is how it looks with Sync for Lemmy and Lemme instance...

I think it is a known bug when using the "&".

I will note I often see this all over the Web with the ampersand

It's what happens when content is url encoded and not decoded again later. It's easy to do by accident because you can't tell if a string is already url encoded in any general way, so the processes responsible for sending and receiving need to agree on how/when to encode and decode (i.e. they both have the power to break it for the other)
