Considering to join a lemmy instance not the least because it says "you can also blog on lemmy" (join-lemmy.org/docs/users/06-o) I have one question though: Can I have MathJax or KaTeX to do formulas?#lemmy @asklemmy #mathjax #katex #fedihelp

Am I too stupid to understand the question, or is it just poorly worded?

    As already mentioned, it’s not supported by default.
    You can enable it by adding a plugin like markdown-it-mathjax3, so you’d either need to modify your own instance or find one that already supports it.

    I’ve added a few such features to my own server, since I’m using it partly for blogging.

    I am not aware of any such feature on Lemmy Look into https://dokie.li/ or WordPress with ActivityPub plugin and LaTeX plugin

    @HaraldKi @asklemmy Well, if you intend to turn it into a blog in the sense that you create your custom website to display the data, you can add support to your frontend. Otherwise you'll have to create a PR or build a custom frontend.

    @chrastecky @asklemmy No, not a custom website, just what is written here:join-lemmy.org/docs/users/06-o

    @HaraldKi @asklemmy I was going off of the last sentence: > For advanced usage, it is even possible to use the API and create a different frontend which looks more blog-like.Outside of that I'm not sure what you can do outside doing a PR. Or writing a tool that will transform it into an image, I guess.
