Yay, the physics.social Mastodon server now supports LaTeX equations! 🎉 Many thanks to our math friends over at Mathstodon.xyz, @christianp for sharing your code.
I'll start with one of my favorites, Euler's formula
\(e^{i\theta} = \cos \theta + i\sin \theta\)

@guenp @christianp That's so cool!

Too bad the rest of us can't see it. Can you see if they'll export it to the rest of the servers?

@guenp @christianp
Will you see formulae rendered if toot comes from other instances? E.g. do you see the following rendered?
\(e^{i\theta} = \cos \theta + i\sin \theta\)

@guenp @christianp it is not portable through the fediverse though 😔

@guenp @christianp TIL there's a physics instance. I'd consider porting over, but then I can connect with people on there anyway and I'd be "worried" about being too insular... would I end up getting caught up in just talking to physicists... I mean, would it be like just talking to myself?... arghhh! 😀

@level98 you're welcome to join! We're just getting started so the server is still pretty small and quiet.

@guenp Thank you. That's very kind. I might well do so, but at the moment I think I'm too lazy in relation to the hassle of transferring, but may well do it one day when I'm not thinking about other things. 😀
