Floating Is Fun

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

This. This is the feeling I was chasing when I created Floating Is Fun. In my dreams, flying is as intuitive as walking. I mean, it's a dream, so everything is intuitive, but flying always feels right to me. When I wake up, I have to convince myself that my real-life flightless state isn't a disability. The dream version of me feels like it's my true form, but that's just how dream worlds work. The Twitter comments are an interesting read.
