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

NiGHTS and I go wayyyy back.

The original NiGHTS into Dreams debuted on the Sega Saturn 28 years ago today. If you haven't played it yet, go get the Steam version for free while supplies last. These games show how 2D platform game mechanics can still feel really good with a character that flies everywhere in a 3D world. NiGHTS doesn't even have animations for standing or walking, in the first game at least.

This promo art was used for the sequel's soundtrack, posters, and wallpaper. The soundtrack credits its artwork to "NiGHTS Development Team" which isn't very useful. Kazuyuki Hoshino is the game's art director and lead character designer, so maybe credit him?
