About that thumbnail, don't worry. This video is from seven years ago. @goodyearblimp is still around. The Zeppelin NTs they use now are just technically not blimps. I just took this video last year.

Privacy-focused people of Mbin and Lemmy, do any of the third-party YouTube viewers support spherical video? Someday I want to live stream in spherical video, but only if people can actually watch it on their own terms.

I love me some Zappa, but what song does this connect to? If this was the other Adrian Belew song, there were three posts newer than that when you posted. You've got to sort by new and pick a song related to the newest post!

I apologize for directly linking to Birdsite's media server here, but this artist's profile requests for her work not to be reposted. My backup idea encountered a similar request, too. I'm still not sure linking to the art on another site follows artists' wishes not to be reposted. What do you think?

Huh? I know we've got federation issues on Kbin/Mbin, but when sorting by new, the most recent song was Bjork - All Is Full Of Love. Your deleted double post wasn't deleted on Mbin, either.

@e@kbin.run I tried uploading this 35 second loop to Fedia as a 5.7MB webm video before I uploaded this 5.7MB bitcrushed gif instead. It seems Mbin throws 500 Server Errors whenever it receives a webm upload. That's too bad. The webm looks a lot better, and this post actually links to the webm version on Catbox. I think that's how this post worked, too.

I originally credited this as "Ambient Swim: Neo Mega Ultra Z-Star by Stim Studio" and thought I did enough research. Then, I dug deeper and found the actual artist, Alexandre Blain. There's more to him than just this commission for Adult Swim. It turns out he does a lot of cool stuff with witches! Oh, you'll definitely see more of him here soon.

This is a Floating Is Fun first: we have our first repost! This is the all-time top post on the old subreddit but it didn't do well on Fedia. I'm glad this is getting a second look; it's really good! This doesn't break rule #3 either because it's been over 180 days since we've last seen this.

It actually really helps that you've uploaded a webp version here. As you posted this, I was busy re-encoding this Ambient Swim video clip to webp to see if webp files work as both animated and non-animated images. I'll post it as soon as it's done.

I tried uploading the 5.7MB webm to Fedia, but it Mbin throws 500 Server Errors when I upload a webm of any type. I ended up uploading a 5.7MB bitcrushed gif, and linking to that 5.7MB webm on Catbox. I hope the Fediverse gets proper webm support soon.

I figured out Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin crossposting. Just post the same URL as another post and they become crossposts of each other. Huzzah! I was watching the sea lions at the zoo today playing around underwater and I think they're my new favorite animal.

This is Floating Is Fun's 600th post, but I'm conflicted here. The artist's Twitter profile says "Please don't repost." and I respect those wishes, but this isn't art isn't on that Twitter. I didn't reupload the image to Fedia, but this post is actually a link to pixiv.cat, a proxy service that I regularly use to download full size pixiv images. Clicking the thumbnail will take you to pixiv.cat. But the way Mbin and Lemmy work, they go download a thumbnail from the URL I link, and that means... every instance reposts the image anyway. I'm not sure this acts according to artists' wishes not to be reposted.

Hatsune Miku shows up a lot on Floating Is Fun because she can float in any way any artist can ever think of. This version of Miku hails from a wild future where gravity is optional. Seems legit.

This one's definitely #multipletypes but I'm not sure which types of floating should actually count here. The carp streamers and rainbow streamer which are Windpower on their own are almost Airswimming here. There are also balloons and some other stuff randomly floating about. There's enough going on here, it makes a good desktop wallpaper at least.

WildBlueFantasy's OC Riley Flightheart is resting in the supreme comfort and safety of an indestructible magic bubble. WildBlueFantasy's recent output has drifted in NSFW directions, so I won't post those here, but they're still good if you like this kind of stuff.

It breaks my heart, but Awoko's Pixiv profile says "please do not do redistribution of my works to others." So, this time I'm trying something a little different: a link post. Fedia grabbed a 277x380 thumbnail Tumblr's maximum resolution image and broadcasted it to the Fediverse, but clicking that thumbnail should take you to the artist's Tumblr instead. I hope this method of linking to this art is OK with the artist's wishes. It's this Gumi art's 10th anniversary and it's too good not to be seen here.

@aeharding, Voyager sometimes doesn't display this link thumbnail (Edit: This instance didn't get the thumbnail?), but other times it does.
