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

in constant freefall to nowhere, somehow got lost on the way down
I asked gravity for a compass but north keeps shifting, changing
my whole body drifts, I'll just relax and enjoy the ride
nothing wrong with detours on the way back to earth ~

Our #1 bubble muse delivers again! Welp, that gets posted right away.

Hey @saucechan@ani.social ! How do you do with something so new SauceNAO barely knows about it?899

Floating is Fun is currently not whitelisted as a community in which Soutaku can respond.

That's easily changed. With your permission I can enable auto-responding, allowing Soutaku to respond on its own to posts that do not credit and an artist or do not have links, even without mentions.

Yes, please! I'd like Soutaku to try to identify posts that don't credit the artist in the title or have any source links. I realize this will probably also trigger on posts that aren't art, like photos and videos, and that's fine. That's how SauceNAOBot worked on the old Reddit version of Floating Is Fun. I've invited you as a moderator, so go ahead and make any changes you need on the magazine to get the bot working.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

Done. No need to mode me though, and I don't think it worked, either.
