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.

Welcome to Floating Is Fun! I'm happy you found us! I knew I can't be the only one easily distracted by floaty things. I couldn't find a community for this anywhere, so I created one.
Our posts tend to have a lot of 2D art from pixiv because they categorize well and the art community is good about giving their creators credit. For real, though, I'd like to have more real life examples of floatiness like this, but real life floating isn't common and tracking down the origin of such a video is difficult.
Also, Lemmy likes GIFs a lot more than embedded YouTube videos. I carefully convert these using Ezgif and write my own alt text. The extra effort isn't for everyone, but it's worth it.
