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.

a black-and-white aerial photo of a giant goldfish balloon making its only appearance during the 1941 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade; the 52-foot goofy-looking fish seems to swim above the Manhattan street, guided by dozens of handlers as it passes Central Park
