Considering to join a lemmy instance not the least because it says "you can also blog on lemmy" (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/06-other-features.html?highlight=blog#lemmy-as-a-blog) I have one question though:
Can I have MathJax or KaTeX to do formulas?

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

This guy made a FE for a blog using lemmy as the BE https://martijn.sh/

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

That won't really help with others seeing the content correctly, though.

@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.

No, not a custom website, just what is written here:

@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.

@chrastecky @asklemmy OK, I was hoping for something like flip a switch as it is already available to add to the markdown formatting. 🙂
