OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2216th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

Friends, I’m just wandering through this lovely community, enjoying songs that speak the language of the soul and of love. Love upon love. Dance, be happy, and enjoy yourselves, because you only live once. If heartbreak comes knocking later, it doesn’t matter—because you lived it. I send you a hug and keep humming my song:

After a full day at the office from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., I felt the need to move and breathe outside for a while. The hours spent sitting at my desk made me realize how sedentary my routine has become lately. So, I decided to invite my aunt to go for a walk along the seawall just a few meters away from our house. It felt like the perfect way to unwind and get a bit of an exercise at the same time. Since she didn't have classes because it's summer break, she happily agreed and joined me.

Hello to all the fans of this great "Black-And-White": It's been so long since I last participated in this great initiative #"monomad": that if I had to say how long it's been, I couldn't. However, I'm very happy to be sharing these beautiful photographs with you all. If you love taking these kinds of photos, you can join the challenge, but first, familiarize yourself with the contest rules contest.

For me it has never been like that. The chances of me letting a friend go are very low, unless that person was not truly my friend from the start. I am not quick to make friends, but once I have decide to let someone in my heart and called them my friend, it is not just for a limited period. It is not dependent on situations, once I call you friend, you're a friend forever.

Hello, fellow gardening and plant-growing enthusiasts. A few years ago, I bought a tomato seed. This seed was produced at the agricultural institute where I worked. It is a small, apple-shaped tomato.

It's a difficult concept to say that we live in freedom, because from birth we depend on others. As human beings, freedom and being free are things we forge. Freedom, as we understand it, is deciding of our own free will. We have the capacity to choose and to take responsibility for our actions. This sense of living in freedom is deeply ingrained within ourselves. We can be confined within a limited space and still feel free.

Calamaro wrote some amazing songs; I always remember "Hace calor" because of that crab commercial, for example. "Flaca," in this case, has become more than just a heartbreak song—it's a true alternative classic.

Reading made me feel free. Writing my letter to the Three Wise Men was wonderful, and receiving the reward for all my effort—what I had asked for with such excitement—was a school pencil case and some Prismacolor pencils. My first experience in the world of teaching was helping a classmate to read and write.

I can easily recall the number of adverts, commercials and TV programmes featuring simple competitions with lavish prizes. Too easy and too good to be true for many to believe, but in a way it was a strategy that never failed to capture the attention of a large audience. As a child, I always wondered: ‘Is that real?’ And although my mother always explained to me that it was all a sort of trick, I wasn’t entirely convinced because, if it was obviously a trick, then no one would bother taking part. At times, it’s as if the value of a big prize overshadows reason, giving way to what many call luck or superstition.

I made this decision because I somehow started to become more aware of what I was consuming. Before, the foods I ate were healthy, just as they are now, but with the crisis in my country, I started to worry more and more about having a good diet.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
