TIL that the visitors system works differently since the update! Instead of Leif, Saharah & Kicks all having a reserved slot per week (which only gave 2 days to all the other NPCs), now no one has reserved slots and anyone can show up during the first 5 days of the week :D

Also, now K.K. comes on Sundays when there's something going on Saturday! This way he can't take up the Friday NPC slot anymore ;D

Today I learned you can get cockroaches in the beginning tent. (I have an alt I rarely use that I created so I could have an extra tent at my campground, and I logged in to do some diving for a scallop and there were cockroaches in their tent.)

Today I learned that you can make trash ponds. Learned it on here!

 

[Rubombee]

TIL that hermit crabs can spawn on the beach rocks, even if regular shells can't! So if you see one on the rocks, get your net out x)
Edit: this was a bug & it's been fixed now!

Also if anyone's wondering how to do this, here's how!

If you catch any cicada while it's raining, your character will say something different than if you catch one while it's not raining. Your character will talk about how the cicada is quiet and less active in the rain.

I learned that the bamboo grass has a tanzaku for each villager type and a few for NPCs if you interact with it

Yellow - Isabelle (I assume? She is yellow and one of the most iconic NPCs)
Blue - Cranky
Red - Sisterly
Pink - Peppy
Green - Normal / Sweet
Orange - Lazy
Crinkled - Jock
Scented - Snooty
Unusually long - Smug
Soaking-wet - Gulliver
Tattered - Flick
Leaf pattern - Tom Nook
Golden - Label. Its mentions a mentor (which may be Gracie)

Just found out that trash island exists....took me a little too long to realize. lmao I just kept fishing hoping I would get a fish at some point.

i found out that the horseshoe crab can be interacted with just like the snapping turtle and now i’m tempted to have a bunch of pet crabs lmaooo

 

[SmrtLilCookie]

Today I learned that the beetles have a fight club in the museum at night (and maybe during the day too). Like, there’s a ring of beetles jeering on two of the horned beetles who are duking it out until one wins. And the match up and winner is randomized every time.

I wish I could download the video I got of this, it’s hilarious!

If you changed someone else's catchphrase then she must've picked it up

Mabel won't let you in the fitting room if you're currently wear a wetsuit. If you have to take it off in order to enter.

I found that out on the day the update came out. I have one in my house and 4 on the beach. Its so cute how they roll onto their backside!

Ah! I misunderstood :'D
I went to look at the wiki, and welp, guess TIL too

 

[Cirice]

TIL you can now swim without spamming A. A delight.

I learned that wand outfits are a big no-no on Photopia. My bro wanted me to go there and set up a room with his favorite villagers. Every time I spawned him in, the game crashed. I tried three different times. Then he loaded up his save so I could see if there was anything wrong with his character. The only thing we could find out was that he had a wand outfit on. I told him to revert to his normal outfit and tried spawning him again. It worked like a charm.

i forgot that changing someone's catchphrase, even if it's still their default, count as a "given" catchphrase so someone would acquire it. in this case, marshal. he asked for a new catchphrase and decided to give him back "sulky" and now even the island peppy is copying it and it doesn't fit her.

iirc you can reset the catchphrase by complaining to Isabelle? Not completely sure
