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.

70%EtOH, Twitter #underwater

a painting of a nameless long-haired woman from Nameless and the Scientist swimming downwards in the water; she is approaching what looks like the water's bright surface if the viewer was upside-down; around her, there are dozens of fish swimming in circles around her, and some of them are glowing, but all of them appear rightside-up relative to the viewer

Somehow, the head angle looks extreme but only when you rotate the image upside down (even though the depiction itself is technically upside down), haha.

Well, I thought it was upside-down, but those fish are rightside-up relative to the viewer. It's just another surreal Amei Zhao water situation.
