Floating Is Fun
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

Hello from PieFed! !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io is never tied down to one platform, so I'm trying to post from my PieFed account today. Let me know if anything broke. I actually wrote alt text for this image, but I don't know if it's viewable.
The Balloon Fight spin-off Balloon Kid was a launch title on the Game Boy about 34 years ago this week in North America. This Japanese game didn't get released in Japan until its ports years later, first to the NES as Hello Kitty World, then to the Game Boy Color as Balloon Fight GB. Alice can freely blow up balloons and fly with them in an otherwise standard 2D platform game where everything is trying to kill you.
The alt text made it to the default Lemmy interface on reddthat (it shows up as a tooltip if I mouse over the thumbnail), but doesn't make it through to the "old" (mlmym) interface. (That might be a limitation of mlmym though.)
