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

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

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.
@chrastecky @asklemmy
No, not a custom website, just what is written here:
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/06-other-features.html?highlight=blog#lemmy-as-a-blog
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. 🙂
