Animal Crossing: New Horizons |OT| Eternal Debt

Reading through some of the posts / pages here, few of you really need to understand Animal Crossing isn't about doing as much stuff as possible in a day/session. It's a chill game, so play it accordingly. ^^
That said, i fully expect my evening to answer questions to my impatient kids doing the same.

It's a Nintendo game so it's clumsy and confusing BUT...
If you want to go to an actual person's island, they need to have their gate open. Then talk to the Dodo to visit their island. However you have no idea if their island is open so you just have to hope someone in your Switch friends list has their gate open. After you visit them you can request to be a Best Friend so you can see their online status in the future.
You can also get a Dodo code at the airport to give someone to specifically visit your town and vis versa.
If you have a lot of Switch friends you might randomly catch someone who is open (did it twice today) or use the Discord to try to set something up.
I think I've hit a gridlock for today! I weeded and cleaned up my entire gathering area, crafted a fishing rod, fished a lot, presented them to Nook, and finished crafting everything else (watering can+axe).
Blathers is moving in tomorrow presumably but I can no longer present things to Nook and my fishing rod/axe broke and I only have different types of -wood, not tree branches :/ So I can't re-craft anything either. Might as well go study now and just check back in tonight maybe

So they make it seem that way but when I was messing around with things this morning it seemed like you didn't. Like, there was a part that said use ticket then another option to go to someone else's island. When you choose someone else's island there is nothing that talks about using tickets. But I haven't gone through with it yet so I'm not sure.
My weeds are plucked, flowers are planted, DIY stuff is built, trees have been de-apple'd, Blathers camp is under construction, and my tent is paid off with construction of my house underway for tomorrow. What's my next step? Exchanging miles for the special tour ticket?
A few questions:
1. can we visit others yet?
2. if we can...when hitting rocks for bells, if the visitor takes all the bells out, are there any left for the main inhabitant?
3. for online multiplayer does the visitor keep what they mine/pickup/net/fish?

Do what you want? There is not a "next step" in animal crossing.
I can't... I'm gonna time travel. Messed up by not giving stuff to Nook so I'll only have Blathers tent tomorrow, no can fucking do, I have today off.
To anyone that has time travelled, if you unlock Blathers and you turn the clock back to realtime, does he remain on the island?

No, you can trade Dodo codes you get at the airport with someone to enter each other's towns. I recommend joining the Discord in the OP to find someone, it's super active.
Nah, the airport color/native fruit stuff that people talk about is all just about personal preference
I really want to move time forward, already started on March 17 and forwarded three days. Time is running sync now but hnnnggh letmein.gf
I wanna get some more villagers, find a way to cross the river that's blocking off the other half of the island, and gain access to characters like the Able Sisters. By next step I mainly meant "how do I unlock some more of the game's features". I've breezed through a lot on the first day but I'm in no rush if there's things I have to wait on because I've got DOOM Eternal to play if I find a good stopping point.
I feel like I have done absolutely everything I can on the first day.
I think the only thing left is just to aquire more currency.
I feel a touch put out, I thought there would be more to do at the start.

From what i gathered in this thread, it looks like you need to wait for the Owl to move in.
I love the first timers having all these questions and everyone being really supportive with answers - there's a lot of small stuff in this game that can easily be missed... we'll all figure out a lot of this stuff together over the next few days and week :) This is going to be fun!
So my partner and I are playing on the same console with one copy of the game, if I bought another switch and another copy would they have to start over from scratch or is there any way to transfer their character and items?
I can't help myself with this game. I don't time travel but I have fished and bug caught the shit out of this island, and done several dozen Nook Miles + activities.
I feel like I might burn through the 'content' too fast considering I'm almost 1/3 through the critterpedia already.
Obviously there are much more long term goals such as island designing and furniture/clothes/shops/villagers etc but I do wish that there was just so much more to fish/catch. I want it to be overwhelming. I wonder if this will be updated into the game? I'm super curious what the updates will entail.

I honestly think it's at some kind of mid-point now. You get a deserted island where there's honestly nothing to do at first but grind. Of course people just start treating it like that, not to mention it's the opposite of streamlined now that there's multiple currencies to work with. You gotta get bells but also nook miles and there's stackable crafting currencies everywhere. It just incentivizes this "Gotta do all this stuff!" feeling in me.
I think Nintendo said that a transfer option/method is planned sometime this year, but atm it's not possible to transfer anything outside of a broken/stolen system.
You can get infinite tree branches if you keep shaking trees (and also outright buy the tools from the shop)
How do you chop down trees? I only get the 3 wood when I hit them with an axe, and I've tried holding down the button as well as eating a fruit beforehand (I've seen some people say that may or may not affect whether or not you break a rock when you hit it with an axe, but both of my rocks broke on one hit from an axe without me ever eating a fruit sooooo) and nothing. Got a daily tied up behind it.
It's accurate but when you're really in the zone, the game becomes a thing where you just play for 1 or two hours every day or every second day and do as you like. The game will often hit a point where there's not much "Progress" to make in a single day. I personally always saw these games as part of the OS in a sense. They're also loosely based on the Tamogochi idea.
Ok I almost want to make a thread about this since it is a big issue to my house and probably is for others:
There are rumors of big restrictions to anyone other than the first profile to play the game.
Everyone on the switch shares the same island as we know, and there wasn't supposed to be a "mayor" like in New Leaf, but anyone other than the first person on the island is rumored to have huge restrictions in what they can do/experience:

While I can understand restrictions on crafting due to resources being taken by another player already, not being able to donate creatures to the museum, not getting a tutorial, not being introduced to villagers, not participating in events, would SUCK. My wife and I want to play this together, but after learning about this I told her to play first to make sure she gets the full experience. Someone in those threads even said they couldn't get medicine for bee stings unless player 1 had already received it.
Can anyone else please chime in to confirm/refute these restrictions?
I game share with my girlfriend (she has her own switch), and I bought the game under my profile. No issues we've noticed
You need a better axe to chop down trees. At least that was the only way I've managed to do it.
The inaccuracy of flower planting is driving me insane. I space out and stand right where I want the flowers to go, trying to plant a line, and then they plop down beside me instead. And I can't pick them up and replant? Do I just have to wait until they bloom first?
You mean she has her own switch but you two are sharing a switch for this game? Good to hear you haven't had issues so far. How does the second player get the recipe for the axe/shovel?
I'm on day 2nd day and donated what I needed to blathers to open the museum. Is there a way to see what I've donated so far without having to talk with him?
Essentially we both have our own switch, but my profile is primary on HERS, so she can play the game too. The game let us have our own islands somehow, so that hasn't been an issue
