Moving out via Amiibo?

[SarahsNY]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it is now safe to move out a villager with an amiibo, then have someone adopt the villager being kicked out? I know it used to be dangerous, but I heard it was patched out. I’d like to get a villager from my sister who isn’t fond of time traveling, and this seems like the easiest way to do it.
Thank you!

apparently people are still getting glitches happen from it but i saw someone post on this website saying it might be patched at the end of this month but i'm not sure if it's true or not

Thank you, I hope someone knows for sure, but if I have to wait a month I don’t mind too much. I just don’t want to wait who knows how long for her to randomly move out!

The Amiibo-specific glitch was patched out, but it seems like the patch itself introduced a different glitch that affects all villagers because it has to do with the void mechanic. Here's a doc with more details. Not everything on the doc is accurate as it's a bit out-of-date (for example, I think the theory of clearing the void using in-game time isn't definite), and the glitch itself seems to have some currently unpredictable elements, but that's the gist of it.
