This page is a list of activities that can be enjoyed on Second Life.

It is not about specific places, items or groups but about the general activities (e.g. role play, not role play region X run by avatar Y or da discussion meeting on weekday Z at time HH:MM).

The purpose of keeping things general is that the information stays up to date as the general activities change much more rarely.

Each activity page linked from here should contain some information on the activity, information on how to get started with that activity, tips that make it more enjoyable. This can include relevant in-world tools (e.g. navigation HUDs for sailing or driving or flying), viewer features (e.g. showing parcel borders on the mini map) or information elsewhere on this wiki or the Knowledge Base or even external websites.
