Hey everyone! Team OCD brings you another update on our Community Incubation Program which has been running for some time now and we've seen some good results so far. Community leaders/moderators continue to share posts in our discord for some added curation, and we've also noticed some growth with respect to subscriber count and engagement in these communities. We also plan to conduct some contests in future to further boost engagement in smaller communities and give them added visibility. In our last post, we added 1 new community and today we bring you some additional stats and updates.
Our aim is to support communities, help them grow and allow users posting on genre specific topics find the right community spaces to interact with like-minded individuals, and gain through the focused curation done by community leaders.
If you've started new and unique genre-specific community that has the potential to raise a lot of activity and doesn't exist yet, feel free to apply for our incubation program - either by writing in the comment section or contacting us on our Discord in the community-incubation channel. You can get more info about the program here.
Most communities seem to be doing pretty well, and people are certainly checking them out as they explore diverse topics and contribute to interesting conversations across hive. In terms of engagement, communities like Feathered Friends, Hive Gaming and On Chain Art registered over 1k interactions. Gaming, Photography and Art are popular topics that generate a lot of interaction and engagement. What is the one new community that you found interesting? - we'd love to know in comments.
We'd like to welcome 3 new communities into the program!
Head over to Fascinating Insects to get to know arthropods through pictures or to learn some cool new insect related facts. For all things about software development, check out Programming. And ReggaeJAHM is a place for Reggae Culture and IRIE vibes.
We're still waiting on some communities to give their info. The communities listed below can join our Discord to get in touch with us for onboarding into the program!
He'll be updating these charts monthly and it's always interesting to see some upward movement in subscriber trends and friendly competition between communities to attract more users which helps in the overall growth/reach of hive :)

We're looking forward to adding more communities focusing on different subjects to our incubation program, and helping them grow with curation/delegations.
These posts aim to highlight the communities as well as their curation accounts that post the curation reports, and if you find a community interesting, do feel free to have a look around/subscribe.
The community moderators/curators are doing a great job trying to onboard and help new users as well as highlighting great content for curation. It's important that users find the right communities and subscribe to those that interest them. Thanks for reading!
Have you stumbled upon some new communities that are unique to the ones above and would like to see them get supported? Feel free to mention them here in the comments or join us on Discord and talk about it there in the #community-incubation channel! Please note that this is only for unique niches/genres of communities, nothing "general original content" or country/language based.
