We're chasing that dream-like feeling of floating free in the air and playing around, be it real or fantasy. Any post type that conveys this feeling is welcome. Check the post flairs for examples.
What qualifies for Floating Is Fun is open to interpretation. I encourage everyone to post what they like to see. Give us a gentle push and we'll float pretty far.
We started on Reddit /r/FloatingIsFun in 2021 and moved here in 2023. All 400+ posts from the original from the original subreddit have been reposted here, so you're not missing anything.
On our home instance fedia.io, we have custom CSS with banner images by neko and by ke-ta

I can barely draw a stick figure. Whats the mirroring trick?
Sometimes when you're drawing something and focusing too much on getting the proportions just right it helps to have a different perspective. Often you don't have someone around so what you can do is hold a mirror up to your drawing, (or mirror horizontal if it's digital) and if it looks right while it's mirrored your anatomy is all right. It really helps to show things that are off , like if you mirror this, you can see the face looks fine in both iterations, but the spine looks off when mirrored, this means it looked okay to the artist when in that position but the anatomy or proportions were off
Aha, that makes a lot of sense!
