OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2125th 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:

Greetings dear friends of Hive DIY, it's a pleasure to greet you and welcome you to my creative space. Once again, I'm sharing with the community of artisans, and it's time to share a new post full of art.

Greetings, music lovers who bring #Music to life. Today is Tuesday, and I know it! A special day to share with you, taking advantage of the #TTT initiative proposed by @ablaze, where every Tuesday we recommend great music. This time, I want to recommend one of my many favorites from Thirty Seconds to Mars, a rock band that I loved from the moment they appeared, and I've listened to all their albums since.

However, the first two days of the week have been very stressful.

I've done the slides twice; I think they're fine both times. But my partner doesn't think so.

I created another design; he didn't like it. And I just thought I wasn't going to stress about it.

I'm going to get the professor's opinion, and I'll make the decision based on what he says.

This seems more sensible to me. Because I feel like we won't reach an agreement.

I’m super, super happy over here. Do you know why? Because I finally managed to make my beloved Crumbly Cookies, and you have no idea how much I love these cookies and how hard it had been for me to get them right; I tried so many recipes, but none of them turned out right... A few days ago, I found a recipe and a video that explained things I didn’t know, and my previous batches didn’t turn out that way. So I said to myself: Why not try again? And that’s what I did—with lots of love and faith, I got to work and made my cookies; they turned out super delicious and with the perfect texture—when you bite into them, they literally crumble into dust...

Esperanza de Vida is a Christian band I used to follow because their lyrics were beautiful, and I also loved the vocal range of their singers—the girls’ vocal timbre and their style of performance were something I really enjoyed back then. It also reminds me of my sister, since she really liked their songs and I used to sing them with her.

Those who have heard of “The Tiny Chef Show” probably don't need an introduction, but this is the show's little star, the Tiny Chef, who spends his time cooking up all sorts of tiny plant-based dishes.

Well, this was a request, so I got to work and started making a figurine of this charming character. Please join me as I walk you through the creative process behind this piece.

Being overweight isn't a punishment from fate; it's, if anything, the result of my own decisions repeated over the years. It hurts to say it, but saying it is liberating. Because if I did it, I can undo it. No one is coming to rescue me. There's no magic app or miracle diet. There are legs. My legs. And the sidewalk. The same one for everyone. And the embankment.

ey friends, how’s everything going? Let me tell you… since I was a kid, I’ve had a strong connection with the countryside. I owe that to my father, who always taught me to care for and love nature. So whenever I get the chance, I head out to a forest. It’s like my way of resetting. Out there, I stop being “me” and just feel like part of everything around me… and honestly, that does me good.

I continue my tour of what I call Brasilia’s ‘spaceship’. This is my own personal perception, although its designers drew inspiration from the ancestral traditions of the Amazonian peoples, such as the Yanomami’s conical dwellings and the organic simplicity of their bowls, which, when I see them, I compare to an upside-down cup. This architecture is astonishing; my senses are overwhelmed by the human quality of the American cultures.

From the frequent, daily raising and lowering of the blind, the retractable tape has become damaged and has begun to snag when passing over the small roller mechanism.

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.
