Why are there no villagers on Nook Miles island?

[ekcomyth]

i went to two islands twice and i saw no one. Aren't they supposed to be a guarantee there on the island?

Same happened here, but that was after I had already invited three residents to come live with me. Maybe that's the reason for you too? That your island is temporarily full?

I think after you invite your 3 villagers, there won't be more spawning until they move in first.

Can Confirm! I'm just wondering when they will arrive?

 

[Corndoggy]

im hoping they will arrive the day after u invite them, ive invited patty and jerimiah and im so excited for them to join the island

They don't arrive the next day as it's next day in my game and they didn't show up.
I can't confirm this but you may need to upgrade the Nookling's shop for them to show up.

I only invited one but the next day, Tom Nook had me organise plots for 2 random new villagers and now the Nook Miles islands are empty. ):
