OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2173rd 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:

Hello to all the musicians and artists who are part of this beautiful hiveOpenmic community! We're already in week 301 and the love is in the air. Last week's theme was original song, and I managed to write something and discovered something new in myself: creating music. So, that caught my attention, and I set about creating something original of my own for this week 301 with the theme "Somebody to Love."

One of my sweetest memories is of my grandfather holding my hand. I remember the feeling of my small hand wrapped in his large, secure one. We had a ritual: once a week we would sneak off to the corner kiosk. There he would buy me an arsenal of sweets (the kind only grandparents give us to spoil us) and then we would sit in the square and devour our booty. “This is our secret,” he would say conspiratorially, making me feel like the most important girl in the world.

I remember, in every house, we all had a 21" diagonal TV, and only rare home theaters at the time, where they enjoyed a 29" diagonal screen.

I like to learn about history through films, although I recognise that they will never be faithful to the facts because that is what books are for, and films will always add or remove parts of the story for their own convenience. The truth is that many films have historical traces or are inspired by novels, as was the case with Phantom, which was released in 2023 and which I saw last year in 2025.

An impeccable presentation. The creaminess of the salad contrasted perfectly with the emulsion points and the freshness of the prawns. On the menu it was read that it had avocado, potato and salmon roe. It was a soft and delicate start.

Hello... I hope you are all doing well and having a productive week, full of learning and great achievements. Today I want to share with you a very special experience I had during my workday at the beautiful Ecoland Hotel, a place that, as many of you already know, I love for its atmosphere, its people, and its connection with nature.

Nowadays I rarely use pens, although I do make a few notes from time to time, but it's not the norm at this point in my life. My usual day is the computer and notepads. So when I heard about the initiative I asked myself: Do I have enough pens to make a collection? I wasn't really sure.

Hello, beautiful people of Hive! I'm happy to say that my life is slowly returning to normal. This week, I've been getting back into my routine, and I must say that I really needed the order and control that I left behind during the December holidays.

In my last post, I mentioned that part of my family emigrated, and it has been a little difficult for me to record because my mom used to help me a lot with my son when I had to record, since she lived in the same building as me. I've had to adjust my schedule, and most likely I'll have to record while my son is at school, but that's exactly when I'm doing a thousand things at home 😰

Well, today I want to share with you a cover of a heartbreak song, one of the old Luis Fonsi songs that I used to like. Forgetting someone we have loved deeply is a challenge that sometimes takes longer than we want it to, and that's what the lyrics of this song are about. I hope you like it. See you soon ❤️

The Julian New Year is a holiday celebrated on January 13-14 of the Gregorian calendar each year. That date is January 1 of the Julian calendar.Although the name Serbian New Year is established in Serbia, in different parts of Europe it is known as Julian, Old or Orthodox New Year.My wife wanted to celebrate by going to Venice with her friends. Of course, it's known that women decide everything, so we left on the 12th and are returning home on the 15th. Today is Wednesday and a day to walk around Venice.We left the hotel and set off without a plan, because in this city you don't choose a direction in advance. The streets are narrow and often end with a canal or a bridge. We walked more slowly, following the path that signs and passages between buildings led me. The water could be heard behind the walls, and footsteps echoed on the stone.

A few days ago, I visited the Buenos Aires Eco Park with @dulce.crucita and @felixmarranz. It used to be the city's zoo. Now it's a refuge for a few animals that, due to their advanced age, couldn't be released back into the wild, as well as for some rescued species waiting to be released and others that have adopted the place as their sanctuary.

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.
