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

Yup, all you have to do is manually type out the tag!

As far as I know, neither Mbin nor Lemmy allow for filtering posts by a tag. Mbin does let you search everything for a tag, and it automatically does that when you click a tag.

I rely on the ten tags I've selected being unique enough that no one in the Fediverse outside this community will actively use our ten tags. I have some collisions with outside posts when using the windpower tag, but they're few enough that searching by the windpower tag still works well enough. I changed the old subreddit's space tag to microgravity on Mbin to reduce tag collisions with other people's pretty photos of space.

In the old days of Reddit, Reddit couldn't filter a subreddit by a post flair either. Crafty CSS writers basically made different "language" variants that make all posts invisible except the ones that contain a certain post flair. I shouldn't have to do that here, but it's an option.
