Every year we celebrate because of you, the amazing and creative Residents who have chosen to call Second Life home. What has drawn you into this world, and what keeps you here? These annual festivities are an opportunity to show us what fuels your Second Life. Let's celebrate that together!

Mobile Update: April 2024 - new builds, avatar updates!
https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/15357-mobile-update-april-2024-new-builds-avatar-updates/
New Android and iOS Alpha builds were published Wednesday, April 3rd.
We’ve been working hard for the last two months and are excited to share some major steps forward for the mobile client -- correctly displaying avatars and teleport improvements have been at the top of the list.
If your avatar depends on an avatar shape deformer, you should immediately notice the changes to avatar rendering! Avatars that didn’t render at all before, or didn’t look the way you intended, now render correctly.
Teleports are also greatly improved – no more getting stuck on a loading screen! If you’re on a parcel with streaming audio, you’ll now be able to use standard audio controls to stop/start and change the volume (tap main menu > tap the audio metadata at the bottom of the screen).
We also found and fixed some issues with the order of group chat messages.
There are definitely some known issues (h/t flexiprims!), but overall we’re sure you’re going to love the changes we’ve made in this release.
Interested in checking out the Second Life mobile client? All Premium Plus subscribers are invited to participate - learn more about how to apply here.
If you’re already participating in the Private Alpha, we appreciate your time, participation and feedback! Please continue to report issues in our feedback portal and from the app (main menu > Give feedback or file a bug).
We’ve heard you, and know that there are lots of people waiting for wider access to mobile. We are working hard to expand access - and we will keep you updated with details and timelines as soon as we can!

Ryan Schultz : Never Alone: Tips and Tricks for Finding Busy Places in Second Life
https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/15356-ryan-schultz-never-alone-tips-and-tricks-for-finding-busy-places-in-second-life/
"For most of the past 17 years I have been in the virtual world of Second Life, I have spent much of my time alone, fiddling and tinkering with the endless options of avatar customization, at which the platform truly excels. Indeed, I gained (and still get) a great deal of personal satisfaction from designing a complete avatar look from head to toe, as cheaply as possible. As this hobby was primarily a solitary enterprise, I did not feel the need to mingle with a lot of other people; in fact, I often wanted to be alone, to work in peace.
But sometimes, and particularly during these past four pandemic years, I am actively looking for a crowd."
