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.

I took this clip and trimed it a bit (editing may be janky). There is kinda a dilemma with this clip. We can perceive it as floating but in reality it isn't floating (strobe lights trick the eyes).

Interestingly you can buy humidifiers that use the same principle to make water appear to float.

I'm still trying to figure out a good implementation for our Reddit post flairs across Lemmy and Kbin. Kbin lets me give my posts multiple tags, but there are problems.

For one, Lemmy doesn't see Kbin's tags or badges at all. I don't even think they get Kbin's OC tag. I'll have to manually add the hashtag to the post body to make it even visible on Lemmy. Edit: Kbin tags don't federate at all, not even to other Kbin instances.

Second, neither Lemmy nor Kbin let you search by tag within a magazine/community. I've been relying on all ten of our tags going unused in the rest of the Fediverse, so when someone clicks the tag, they get mostly Floating Is Fun posts. I changed the subreddit's Space tag to microgravity to avoid some of these conflicts. Unrelated posts still get caught up in windpower though.

Third, my tag implementation only looks good when my CSS is used, but my CSS only gets loaded when viewing on my home instance.
