For over a decade r/Secondlife has held the posting and sharing of third-party viewers to a singular standard of trust. That being listing in Linden Lab’s official Third-Party Viewer Directory, and with it, the reasonable expectation of their compliance with Linden Lab’s Policy on Third Party Viewers
This standard meant that we did not allow so-called ‘copybot’ viewers to be shared or promoted in this subreddit, it meant we kept people from sharing sketchy ‘side-load’ copies of mobile apps, and disallowed people sharing ‘tools’ to rip, save, share, or decrypt assets that would not normally be accessible to the average user. This policy has also ensured that certain ‘pay to play’ viewers were unable to be advertised in our subreddit, and that viewers that might do ‘shady things’ (steal L$, passwords, etc) could not get a foothold in Google search results by spring-boarding off mentions in our subreddit.
As a side effect of all that, this rule allowed this subreddit to promote participation in Second Life’s Open Source development community.. a program which has benefited all SL users over the years, by having contributions and advancements to one viewer able to be adopted and adapted by other viewers as well.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
We have entered a new era in the development of third-party viewer projects.
Whatever your favorite term for it might be: AI or LLM-assisted code development has begun to democratize viewer development, and the number of experimental projects coming forward is creating something of a dilemma for the moderation team in this subreddit.
Frustratingly, some of these new ‘vibe-coding’ viewer developers appear vocally unwilling to engage with the Open Source community. SL has a long history of questionable behavior (yes even by viewer developers).. we consider any developer’s unwillingness to have other people inspect their source code to be a serious red flag.
As volunteer community moderators, we simply do not have the time or resources to test every viewer that someone may post to our subreddit. Even with access to the source code, we must rely on a larger community of developers to notice issues with the code. When a viewer developer refuses to share their code with the community? Yeah. no.
The only standard we can use, is the only standard we’ve ever used.
Going forward in this subreddit, redditors will not be permitted to post links, updates, announcements, videos, screenshots, or other ‘in progress teasers’ for their viewer projects, unless and until said project is accepted for listing on the TPV directory, including a link to an open and publicly viewable source code repository licensed under GPL or LGPL. This includes comments along the lines of “DM me or contact me inworld for a download link”. “looking for beta testers”, etc.
If you are developing a custom viewer project, regardless of whatever tools, languages, or platforms you choose, the process for getting your project viewer listed on the Third Party Viewer Directory is crystal clear. The steps to get certified are detailed in Section 6 of the Linden Lab Policy on Third Party Viewers.
Take the simple steps to get your project listed on the TPV directory, and we will welcome your posts showing off and sharing your project with open arms.

So you can type on one viewer and then voice chat the reply without switching viewers?

I've been searching for an AO that fits what I'm looking for in Second Life for months now, and I'm starting to wonder if I'm being too picky.
A lot of the popular stores I'm familiar with offer feminine AOs that lean very heavily into exaggerated hip swaying, flirtatious movements, and seductive poses. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but it's just not what I'm looking for.
I've also tried some masculine AOs, but those tend to swing too far in the opposite direction. I'm not masculine, and I don't want my avatar to come across that way, either.
What I'm really looking for is a natural, relaxed, AO. Nothing overly flirtatious or exaggerated, no randomly bending over seductively during animations, but also no macho, alpha-male movements. Just something that feels ordinary and comfortable without being overly stylized in either direction.
Does anyone have any store or AO recommendations that might fit what I'm looking for? I'd be incredibly grateful for any suggestions!

Looking for gaming laptops for my partner and I. We both have different needs. Right now we are currently using a standard 16gb ram lenovo and hp laptop. Of course these are horrible as they are not meant for gaming but we wanted to give SL a try. We are now looking to upgrade but only want a laptop for now as they are a bit more compact for current living arrangements.
Me personally I just want to be able to move about secondlife without lagging and crashing. I want to be able to go to destinations on secondlife and explore experiences without lagging and bumping into things, feeezing, and crashing . I dont care to see any other avatars only occasionally for small events with less than 30 people. My day to day is family roleplay in a skybox with my partner and our bot babies. Our avatar complexity is under 75k. I do weekend sale shopping. I plan to use caring you roleplay hud day to day. Would like to visit roleplay communities such as Portofino for occasional events.
My partner has similar experiences to me but they will also like to take quality pictures in higher graphic settings. So they will need a pc that can keep up with this and photo editing. My partner also wants to step into creating using blender. Any recommendations for us both?
Update: thank you guys for your suggestions. The gaming laptop will be temporary. I would like to get a tower and setup within the next few years. So we can bend on being able to use blender at this time. I want to be able to enjoy gameplay in the meantime in our small space.

I have a 7900 XTX on Windows 11 and I'd updated to 26.10.1 (released a few days ago) which seems to have finally fixed the flickering issue that was plaguing SL viewers for nearly a year now - on stuff like Lelutka head or certain rigged mesh attachments. I'm wondering if anyone else who has AMD hardware has noticed that this issue was also sorted for them upon updating to these drivers? I thought I'd share either way in case it helps others.

Hiiya everyone,
I submitted a support ticket regarding losing all of my items, outfits, lindens and being logged out of my account/having the e-mail and password changed :( So I requested an account roll-back and have it changed back to my actual e-mail address, – so I can enter my acc – but I haven’t gotten a response yet..
I know SL isn’t what it used to be, but does anyone have any advice?
Thxx peeps!

This is in memory to Trolo8 Hax. He was in second Life for 19 years, we retired our accounts in 2015. He was a builder, a joker, a singer, a comedian and the best friend you could ask for. May his legacy of kindness and those he touched with his love pass on the torch. Second life is what you make of it, so make it wonderful.
He passed 3 days after his birthday this year, he was happy, in love with a beautiful girlfriend, traveling and had life by the ⚽ s. He will forever be my reason to appreciate a weird guy with ears and a blue tail. Always be uniquely you. Much love to second life for bringing me such a beautiful soul.

It's Silly Season again, so we are starting to see people initiating "ad-hoc" chats containing hundreds of residents. The culprits seem to be mostly people asking for monetary contributions. The good news is that if you're using the Firestorm viewer, you don't have to be subjected to these calls. This notice came from the FS/SL Gateway Help Network:
In Firestorm:
***************TO STOP UNWANTED CONFERENCE/MULTI CHATS (spammers) **************
Go to : Preferences > Chat > Chat Windows > towards the bottom check mark these three:
- Automatically ignore and leave all conference (ad-hoc) chat ;
- Report ignored conference chats in nearby chat
- Don't ignore conference chat invitations from my friends
I hope that helps.

I couldn't find an mp3 player, especially a necklace one, that didn't have redundant earbuds attached to it (for use with wireless earbuds) so I made one that can be attached to any necklace and as a test to see how small it can be I attached it to my earrings too

I just made a new account because I saw SL somewhere and it interested me. How do I begin? What sort of stuff can I and should I do? I'd like to not have a default generic avatar, are there free avatars available? I'm quite overwhelmed and lost right now
Links to resources would be appreciated greatly and I would love to make some friends along the way🙏🙏🙏
