OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2113th 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:

This corner of my garden has been decorated several times with a wide variety of plants and flowers, from large plants such as the Pink Chinese Rose to smaller ones such as those currently found there, which I will share with you below. The flowers planted in this area do not last very long, I suppose because they are in direct sunlight almost all day, and flowers as small as these are destroyed in a couple of weeks, which is why this area has become the space for seasonal flowers. It is renewed each season with different flowers, and perhaps at some point we will manage to plant some that will last longer, but for now, without further ado, I will show you the ones that are planted now.

Today, I have a beloved Thai dish enjoyed by people of all ages, Khai Phalo. The reason this dish is so popular is its deeply aromatic and complex flavour from the phalo spices, with a subtle sweetness and fragrance. The combination of soy sauce and sugar creates a delicious savoury-sweet (umami) taste. The hard boiled eggs and other ingredients absorb the rich braising liquid, resulting in an intense and flavourful bite.

Applause and congratulations are also in order for all the creators who participated and who also won rewards, because remember that at #Vibes, we all win. For this week, I chose a beautiful song by one of the most beloved artists in my country and in much of the world, Silvio Rodríguez, a faithful defender of Cuban trova.

When it comes to siblings, I have fond memories of our games and laughter. I feel fortunate to be part of a family and to be the oldest of three siblings. My youngest brother passed away when he was a child, and I remember his angelic smile while we enjoyed some grapes. I hope to have the opportunity again to hug him and tell him I love him. It makes me happy to know that God brought him into our lives so we could care for him and learn valuable things from him. I have a brother who lives far away with his family. He plays chess and loves sports. His youngest son came with the same passion. We are always there for each other. Our parents raised us to share everything, and there is no difference between his and mine. I am always thrilled when he calls me or when I can reach him. Then those long conversations begin, and pleasant memories are unlocked. My advice is to enjoy our siblings, our earthly companions. I hope you enjoy my performance this week.

I was going out with my friends (it's already quite difficult for us to get together) and it turns out a storm was forecast, but THE STORM! We thought it was going to be canceled.

Greetings, lovely people of #HiveDIY. As usual, on Thursdays I'm happy to share with you both my art and some of the things I do, whether it's crafts, sewing, or, in this case, cleaning an old keyboard. Join me as I read on to learn more about my experiment.

One of the biggest lessons I have learnt is that customers come with different personalities, behaviours, and ways of thinking. Some are calm and easy-going, while others are demanding and impatient. Some know exactly what they want, while others change their minds several times before settling for a design. I have also realised that every face carries a story behind it.

His beautiful lifelong wife, Ivonne, welcomed us and led us to a beautiful terrace where Maestro Heras welcomed us. This visit has great meaning for me, and for everyone present, since the Maestro welcomed us, even when it wasn't recommended due to the pandemic. But we were always almost like family, like children to him.

Now we're under the covers Fast forward We are more than lovers Yeah we are all we need When we're holding each other I'm taken back to 2002(ooh)

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.
