It's probably silly to start my journey here off like this but after moving here from nookazon, a lot of things are different. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get started here? Are mystery bags allowed here also?
Welcome! Mystery bags are allowed. Stuff like buying, selling, and giveaways usually go in the Nooks Cranny section. LINK
Just use one of the prefixes when you create a post over there. I should tell you now that things are a lot slower here in comparison to Nookazon. Especially now that the game has been out for a few years. You may either like this or hate it.
Edit: I forgot to mention that there will be a Halloween event in the forum some time next week? Someone else can correct me. The date hasn’t been announced yet. It’s a lot of fun! You should participate when it’s out. In past events, some of the contests required you to dress up your character, house, and etc. and upload a picture.
