For me, I think I didn't realize for the longest that you can creep up to bugs if you press and hold A. I was, I guess lack for a better word, "manually" catching bugs by really slowly finessing the crap out of my catches by just walking towards bugs (mainly beetles) and catching them, but then my thumb would give out and twitch so I lost my catches. Game over!
Also never realized I didn't have to press and hold B to run either. I could've used the back trigger buttons and if I knew that sooner, I could've saved myself from so many hand/thumb cramps lol

I didn't realize until now that the grass had different shapes. I thought all the grass was the same. I didn't know it could come in squares,circles, or triangles. That is pretty cool and makes towns even more unique.
Also I didn't notice that the leaves changed different colors throughout fall either. I think that is really neat and makes fall so pretty. I really like this feature a lot!

That you can rearrange the emotions in the emote menu!!
I just discovered it last night while visiting a friend's town. We were chatting over discord at the time and while I was wandering around her town I unexpectedly ran into her, so I emoted at her with a smile or something. She said she'd forgotten how to do emotes and I reminded her where the menu was, and we both just started doing expressions at each other back-and-forth. At one point I hit one too early and just hovered on it, then unthinkingly dragged my stylus a little and IT CAME UP AND MOVED WITH THE STYLUS AND IT BLEW MY MIND. I'm so happy I learned because I've always felt like the arrangement was terrible and I wished I could have all the happy and sad emotions separated!!

LOTS of multiplayer stuff, but the one that caused the most awkward experience was not knowing that RV items are five meow coupons instead of the usual three. 
Thankfully the person was lovely and got me the item, (and I paid them back for the trouble OTL).

Is it 5 coupons because your visiting someone?
Yes ! If you go to someone else's town and try to use their campground/RV's, it'll be 5 meow coupons instead of 3.

See, I'm going to visit an rv very soon, luckily I've been preparing 5 per item, thanks for letting me know. I guess it's happened before, items being 5 meow coupons, it's a weird one.
I recently found out about the void, despite two years of playing animal crossing and two years of playing online with others! (face- to- palm) Someone came to my town to pick up a villager. It was in my cycle town (I sell villagers in it) So I then tt'd 4 days into the future and Namoi had moved in, even though I previously had ten villlagers (maybe one moved out in the four days who hadn't told me about it?) I went to talk to her and instantly notice that she wasn't original! This was strange given I hadn't invited any villagers to my town. She introduced herself and said that she was from the town of the person who had come to pick up their villager! I posted about it and it was then explained to me that villagers who leave someones town are then in the void and if their previous mayor visits or gets visited that they may just move itno your town! I can't believe given how much online playing I do that this was the first time (happens frequently to others) but there you go lol
Bumping this because I learned something new today that I didn't even think would be a thing.
Villagers read the bulletin board !! They'll stand in front of it, go into the "thinking position" for a couple seconds, then wander off. The first few times I saw this, I assumed they were going to place flowers and bugged out, but after this happened so many times with a bunch of different villagers, nah---they really "read" it !
I'm guessing because I never had houses near the bulletin board before, I never noticed this.... But in my new town, there's houses right next to the train station !

I posted the pictures on the picture thread.
But I recently found out that the Tarantula can still attack you in a dream town, if you have the net out..if the dream town is set during the summer.
I didn't know this could happen....

I never knew that certain items like petitions for other towns or never returned lost items change their name after a certain time to like “paper scrap”, I found this out when one of my villagers asked me to do a petition for villagers from other towns, and I turned it in late so they said to throw it out and it changed!
I also found this one out just under an hour ago :O
If you never give a villager a present from another villager, the present would say “What was this?” Or something like that, I forgot Pietro asked me to give it to Pango and I TT’ed and it changed, now I feel bad for not giving her her bear shirt D:

I think it's because you can't put non-orderable regional exclusive holiday items on re-tail.
I just knew mushrooms spawn even near the trees that haven't fully grown!

I didn't know that you could build a house over a public works project and have it be demolished. No paying, no waiting for the next day. I only discovered it recently and I don't even remember how I found out. I know that I saw it somewhere online though. It saved me a lot of time and bells when beginning to redesign my town.

I just found something out the other day, villagers can sell wallpaper/flooring at retail, what would show is the regular sprite of what it would look in your inventory, unlike the nookling stores you can’t see what it looks like before you buy, but does this mean villagers can switch their flooring or wallpaper? I never knew that either.
