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.

For all the over crowding, we still have some amazing natural spots left.

@potterybyosa@mastodon.social @mycrowgirl@flipping.rocks So lovely. Is that Blue Springs? If not, you should also check out Blue Springs State Park.

@hal_pomeranz@infosec.exchange @mycrowgirl@flipping.rocks I’ve been. It’s where I’ve seen the most manatees in one place. This is Rainbow Springs. We’ve got a lot of beautiful gems here. I made a list once and realized I’ve visited 18 springs so far.

@superball@norcal.social The springs have become increasingly crowded over the years with tourists, so I’m just doing my civic duty here. 🐊

@potterybyosa@mastodon.social @superball@norcal.social it's true though that it's a bubble. There's a reason those men at the end are pulling you out of the water because right is that water hits a certain temperature of Florida closes back in like an Iron maiden! Lol. Omg missingggg.

@potterybyosa@mastodon.social your video is exquisite, like pro pro. How did you ever get down into the water and back up without drips!? Don't tell me, let's just let it be your natural magic.
