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

Shit, that needs to be one of the rewards people get for donating to Doctors Without Borders for GDQ. Like a print of it or something.

Thank you for posting this Kirbo. It's great to see our little community growing up with new airheads posting. This post brings up an interesting issue, though.

We need to classify Kirby's hover ability with our set of ten tags. In Kirby's first appearance here, he had some help. This time, he inhaled air to make himself floaty. This is a gap in my tag coverage, but it's unquestionably floaty and it's welcome here. This is a rare SFW body inflation, and I classify those as #balloons even if it's not lighter than air. I don't think any of the other floating types fit any more closely.
