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 instance's 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?

More archaic than weird, I'd say. The reason & means 'and' is that it's a stylized ligature of et.

Well, archaic does kind of fill the bill being a fantasy community and all. 😁
