If you get good luck from Katrina and haven’t been on a Kapp’n mystery island that same day then go on one afterwards. The good luck that Katrina gives you will help improve your chance of visiting the rarer islands such as the star fragments and bell tree islands.

I just learned the gyroids actually stop moving when you aren’t in their vicinity anymore! This only happens outdoors though
i have multiple, but the most recent came yesterday when i finally realized... you can order items from wardell. apparently the game explains this to you, but i must have mashed B right through that dialogue screen. 
i had so much poki built up because i wasn't really spending it on anything, but that's changing now!
another is when i learned you can flip off the dock/rocks if you make a running jump! i did it completely by accident the other day, and then just spent a good minute flipping off the dock and swimming back over and over again lol

Being able to customize the Mom’s plush is a godsend. I love having over twenty Puppers spread throughout my island. I love the Puppers variation.I probably have quite a few but the main one that comes to mind is that some of the Mom items can be customised, I had the game from around release day and it probably took me well over 6 months to realise this was possible
The puppy plush is my favourite one to customise, I love filling out my island homes with different variations
Today I learned you can put things on top of the snack, soda & UFO games. I had a mini snow person in my pocket and wanted to set it on the ground for a second but when I hit "Place Item" it set it up on my snack machine! I tried it on the UFO catcher & soda machines as well and it worked. (I forgot to take pics of me trying those though.)
when reading a post about balloon presents, I learned you can look at the chimney smoke to see what direction the wind is blowing, which lets you know what side the presents will come from. (if it's not moving one way or the other, you'll have to check both sides, though)

That you place items (1x1 size only) on top of the castle towers.

I learned that you can save scum the first 3 plots you get from Nook without using Nook Miles tickets. Just set each plot as usual and build the requested furniture. Only finish one plot at a time. Before you enter Nook's tent let the game autosave. Go talk to Nook then check the plot you finished. If it's the villager you want, great! If not immediately shut off game before it autosaves again and reload the game until your dreamies' name appears on the SOLD sign. It helps to have your house, Nook's tent, and the 3 plots close together to save time. I only complete one plot at a time so I can scum each one individually. Just don't place the last requested piece of furniture on each plot until you're ready to reset for that particular plot.
They'll have their starter houses but eventually you can change them back to default or redecorate with the DLC.
I've done this myself with great results and I hope it helps someone. Edit: Got Mitzi, Bob, and Merry from this. Great start to my new all-cat island.

Also the storage cabinets!Today I learned you can put things on top of the snack, soda & UFO games.

I just found out you can decorate the kitchens
This makes me rather happy, so glad I peeked into this thread now! This has been my "today I learned"

Well, last night, but I learned that if you're on the HHP beach for the music festival, pressing 'Y' will make you dance. And each time you press it, you cycle to another dance.
And here I've been opening up the menu to choose one at a time.

Today I learned you can hop across any small gap between pieces of land, even if there's no water between them. I thought you could only hop over water before.

This might be old news but on the paradise planning portion when you are outside decorating and hover over a plant pressing x gives you the different stages of growth.

I was roaming a dream island and found out that you could climb vines... It was a total shocker! Like, all this time I didn't even need my ladder when I got to an island with vines...
