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've tried this, and I suppose the float tank thing counts as floating in the sense that my body isn't touching anything solid. The sensory deprivation thing is a trippy experience, for sure, and worth trying once. I just don't get a good feeling of floating from it, though. Sure, parts of my body are submerged and are floating, but other parts are above the water and just laying there. I can't really move around in there without getting the water in my eyes, and then it just burns until I get all the way out and wash my face.
Thank you for posting here. It's interesting to see how other people get a feeling of floating. You should post where you got that photo from, though. Rules 1 and 2 still apply to posts like this.
By the way, the old subreddit's name was originally going to be simply "Floating", but a subreddit about float tanks beat me to it. I suppose there aren't any float tank communities on Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed, so "Floating" is available here, but by then we'd already been "Floating Is Fun" for a year and a half and I didn't want to change.
