OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1002nd 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:

In the backyard today early in the morning, I saw our Chayote displaying a sizable number of fruits ready for harvest. Perhaps a single fruit bears many gourds.

Greetings friends of hive, I send a huge virtual hug to the whole community, I hope you are very well. Today I will share with you an artistic makeup inspired by the character of the movie "Jason to hell". This Makeup I did it to my husband, since the character fits better to a man. I love to watch this movie but with company because it scares me a lot hahaha.

The young artist stood in the middle of the gallery, surrounded by the works of the great masters. He felt a sense of awe and admiration as he looked upon the paintings, sculptures, and other works of art. He was in awe of the skill and talent of the artists who had created these works, and he was filled with a sense of wonder at the thought of their works being immortalized for eternity.

Hello Ladies! Hope you all are doing well and in tip-top shape all the time. As women, I believe we always have to be at our best condition to be able to give our best to our loved ones especially the family we care for. The other day, the fam went to a family clinic for routine check ups and I also decided to get my neck pain checked, finally.

Although we didn't physically see any hippos, the name of the dam says it all. We might have passed a spot where hippos might have been seen, but after all the rain, it was so muddy that several cars got stuck in the mud...to the extent that some staff from the reserve were also on the scene, trying to get these people unstuck.

Sometimes we have adverse situations that make us sad, my year began with a sick brother, until now they are evaluating him and we began with a trip of tests to detect the pathology he has, during this time we have been running to the emergency room of a hospital center every time they have severe pain. We practically wait for the results of the examinations and the appointment with the specialized doctor.

Hive is a content creation platform where you get rewarded for votes, this is what we are excited about in the beginning, however, sometimes people have high expectations at the beginning and there is no rule that guarantees votes, This can put off a lot of people who expect quick results, but those who try to enjoy the process are the ones who stick with it. By this I mean that you have to respect when a person decides that they do not feel comfortable in Hive, but if, on the contrary, this person likes Hive but wants to grow a little more on the platform, I can give you some advice that I they have worked for me.

Have you ever tasted or made the torta-quesillo? For me that cake is art and pure delicacy 🤤 I ate it once in my whole life and have never cooked it. I hope someday to learn how to make it.

While that time comes 😅 I show you this one I made inspired by the cake-flan.

Living in the small city of Amsterdam, it is easy to bump into a local celebrity at any time and any place. It's a bit different here compared to the United States as celebrities can go about their business without screaming fans and the obligation to sign autographs. I am sure celebrities like their privacy but still enjoy being recognized occasionally. I am most certainly not a celebrity watcher, but sometimes I meet celebrities when I least expect it.

We went away for about 5 days over Christmas to spend time with family and then 12 days in early January for a little trip in our van. So many times in the past when we’ve gone away over the Christmas / new year period we’ve left with things starting to grow in the garden only to come back a week or two later to find almost everything dead. Unless you have a friendly neighbour to come around every other day to water your only hope is that it rains a lot or … you invest in some sort of irrigation solution - which is what we finally did this time. Our set up was pretty simple - a 15 meter soaker hose attached to the tap via a timer controller. That enabled us to set up scheduled times for the soaker hose to come on and water the soil. A lot of the things we had growing (spinach, pumpkin, tomatoes) were just starting off before Christmas so they were growing in pots, plant boxes or grow bags. Other than that we had a few things growing in a little patch outside our back doorstep and a little strawberry patch along the side fence. What we did was move all the things not growing in the ground so that everything sat in (roughly) a 10 metre line from the start of the soaker hose to where the strawberries were and we just set the hose up to go in and around everything along this line. This was super easy to do and worked a treat! We tested it before we left to make sure everything got a decent soak. This was some of what we came back to mid-January (please ignore the weeds) -

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.
