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

Church choir music? Are you lost? I can kind of see how the slow overlapping lines have a floaty heavenly sound, I guess? While this post doesn't technically break any of our rules, I'm not sure this belongs on Floating Is Fun.

I heard this song and it felt like dream floating to me. If it's not welcome here, then I suggest you change the subreddit description to be less misleading.

Indeed, I accept this post as a valid interpretation of the rules. I'll allow it. We haven't had a floaty soundscape before, but I was prepared to accept new types of floating. Now that you've added some context, it makes more sense. I had to delete your double post, though.

Thank you for cleaning that up, the Lemmy mobile client that I use is not very robust and it must have double-posted by accident.
