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.

The 1900 Paris Exhibition attracted the world's best aeronauts and inventors, including Alberto Santos-Dumont, a wealthy Brazilian aviation pioneer who built the world's first motorized aircraft. With members of the International Congress of Aeronauts of watching and filming him, Santos-Dumont demonstrated that his airship can fly into the wind, even with a broken rudder. Some even credit Santos-Dumont with the first airplane that could take off on its own, but the Wright Brothers beat him to it by a few years by using a launch system.
