@e-five@kbin.run I tried uploading this 35 second loop to Fedia as a 5.7MB webm video before I uploaded this 5.7MB bitcrushed gif instead. It seems Mbin throws 500 Server Errors whenever it receives a webm upload. That's too bad. The webm looks a lot better, and this post actually links to the webm version on Catbox. I think that's how this post worked, too.

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

I only rarely host media on my instance itself. Catbox lets me control exactly what the file is, as the file is not subjected to any post-upload conversions.
But many instances will actually grab a copy of the image and cache thumbnails at various resolutions.
Thunder's current version actually attempts to load the instance cached versions of images, though this has unintentionally left it unable to load and display the source file.
In the future, the plan is to make this configurable, to allow users to set an image size they'd like Thunder to request from the instance cache instead of loading full images every time, allowing for faster browsing and conserved bandwidth.
Sorry for missing this, seems mention notifications aren't working for me at the moment (hyphens have always been problems but because /kbin allowed them we're stuck with them, even though almost all AP platforms like mastodon and lemmy don't allow them) (we had fixed it four months ago but... I guess something happened since then). Not sure I know much about media uploads but can at least look into it / talk to one of the other team members that usually knows a lot about this stuff.
I originally credited this as "Ambient Swim: Neo Mega Ultra Z-Star by Stim Studio" and thought I did enough research. Then, I dug deeper and found the actual artist, Alexandre Blain. There's more to him than just this commission for Adult Swim. It turns out he does a lot of cool stuff with witches! Oh, you'll definitely see more of him here soon.
