I’m new to Lemmy and have been searching the federated communities for those which I wanted to subscribe to. For some reason, this community’s name renders weird on my instances search as well as the app I’m using (see image).

Is “Fantasy books, stories, &c” correct? And if so, what does “&c” stand for?

    And cetera

    It’s a weird way of saying etc, which is an abbreviation of et cetera. Which is Latin for “and the rest”, with et being “and”. It’s more colloquially translated as “and so forth”, or “and so on”, or “yada yada yada”
