OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2160th 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:

During this "disconnect," this post about Christmas lights began to take shape. As I said, I'm like a moth: I'm drawn to the light.

I knew I wanted a song that spoke about the simple act of a call between two friends who know they can count on each other, and the certainty that regardless of the moment, place, or situation, one call is enough to know that “you can count on me” — and that it will be the same in the opposite direction.

Happy day, dear friends! Lately, I've been busy making crafts to decorate my tree, and that's what I've been sharing on my blog. I've given you a sleigh, a paper-weaved pine tree, a pine tree with pearls, and, of course, today, a nutcracker. I gave the one I had to a friend.

Today I’m here to perform a song called “Según Quién.” Honestly, it’s not one of my favorite songs. I liked it a few years ago, but I hadn’t listened to it in quite a while until I had to learn it again.

I love Christmas, and I'm always looking forward to watching and enjoying Christmas movies. I especially like the older ones, since they haven't made any new ones, or at least I haven't seen them. It seems like they're lacking the creative spark and the funding.

We must learn when to speak, but also, and more urgently, when to remain silent. We often believe that intelligence and strength are demonstrated with quick and forceful words. I have learned, often through mistakes, that silence can be a much more powerful ally. The phrase "not everything has to be said" is not advice for shy people; it is a practical strategy for living with more peace and more power.

This Wednesday, on my walk, I decided to take a close look at it. As always, I left the car behind the great cathedral on Dom Square. The beautiful winter sky announced to me that after visiting that pass, I would take a little longer walk and surely see something interesting

It was Gusi, the mother of Gustavo, a 7-year-old boy who had trouble getting out of bed to go to school. He always wondered why he had to leave so early when all he wanted to do was sleep more.

After several days without posting because I was out hiking, I'm back at it; I was already feeling it, the street was calling me and my body was asking for it 🤣. So, yesterday I got up early, had my coffee ☕️, which, by the way, I grow in my backyard 🙃, and went out to satisfy my body and this need to capture images and stories from the street. What did I see? Follow me and I'll show you...

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.
