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.

My loyal airheads, I must report that we no longer have the most threads of any Mbin magazine. The strongest lifting gas [email protected] has overtaken us. I've sent them a post congratulating them, but they might not take it well. In a few weeks, I'm probably doing that for [email protected] too.

In the era of the first powered airships, hydrogen was generated by pouring lots and lots of sulfuric acid over lots and lots of iron filings. While hydrogen production is far safer now, hydrogen is currently banned as a lifting gas in the US. With the correct precautions, I think we're due for a hydrogen renaissance. I'd rather save the helium for MRI machines, honestly.
