'Searching' for farms

[anne202b]

I've been playing for quite a while and can't believe I don't know how to do this! Or if it's even possible. So....

Is it possible to 'search out' a farm and visit them? For example: If I see someone here on the board and they're offering to sell items, can I 'search' for them by S8 name, or do I have to first become their neighbor?

Thanks fellow farmers!!

You can invite them to be a neighbor and then visit them while the invite is pending.

You can also send a forum member a private message to see if they would like to be neighbors.
