OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2166th 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:

Even when surrounded by many people, we can feel completely alone, and likewise, we can feel such deep-rooted loneliness that we are unable to recognize the support and companionship of others. In other words, the feeling of isolation can be viewed from an internal angle, an external angle, or even from both angles at the same time, feeling an internal emptiness or ignorance towards the affection of others. We are not talking about loneliness as a dark and cold refuge, unless it is a place you do not want to leave and that conditions your way of life, because in the face of the frenetic pace at which the world drives us, perhaps a small space at a certain time is what we need to take a break and move on.

First, I would like to wish you all a happy new year, may all your goals be achieved, and may you all enjoy good health and happiness. Although Christmas is over, in my culture we eat Christmas Eve food at the beginning of January, and today I would like to share this delicious recipe with you; it is a coconut delicacy that is very easy to prepare.

My first homemade dish in 2026 was Pork Igado without liver. I've been watching some of the reels on YouTube on how to cook this dish for so long, but I haven't tried cooking it, even though I'm curious and interested, because there is pork liver in it.

Hello, my beautiful people, Happy New Year 2026 to all! Wishing you many blessings and that all your projects come true. Yesterday, very early in the morning, we went out to celebrate the end of the year and the beginning of the new year, and without further ado, I'm sharing it with you. The year 2025 left our family with many significant lessons, and I'm certain that this new year is full of blessings for everyone. We must be convinced that each of our dreams is a reality. That's why, as a family, we enjoyed every moment, sharing and living a unique experience that will last a lifetime.

Happy New Year, everyone! Since college, I was obsessed with doing well in my studies. Getting these achievements was never my priority, but they followed naturally through hard work. Now that I don’t have to deal with academics as much, I’d like to do a mini throwback. My passive suicidal self four years ago would thank me because I didn’t give up.

Without a doubt, it is the most enduring and faithful “stage” of my existence. To be honest, here in Venezuela, it is no longer like it used to be when such renowned bands as Cannibal Corpse, Arch Enemy, Warcry, Testament, Megadeth, among others, came to the country and I had the opportunity to be there. However, there is the talent of our people, which is applauded and supported. Here is a sample of my 2025, to bid farewell in this way that is so personal and special to me.

I have learned that existence changes us from the root when adversity stops being a headline in the news and knocks on our own door, everything comes to life, even in the most vile way. However, as long as it does not touch us, we are indifferent to the pain of others, we walk on the surface, but when the break reaches us, we stir from the deepest foundations of our being.

Warm greetings to everyone in the community and platform in general. I hope you are enjoying the holidays with your loved ones. This is my last post of the year, and what better way to end it than by telling you about a great movie I saw recently that really surprised me. It's called Truth & Treason, released in October this year, directed by filmmaker Matt Whitaker, who, together with Ethan Vincent, was responsible for the production's screenplay. An American film, a drama and thriller based on a true story, about the Nazi persecution of the Jews and how some young people carried out heroic actions that went down in history.

I can only say thank you for the support and for your words, which have given me so much encouragement. I won't lie to you, I'm an emotional wreck right now, but I know that time heals many things. And so, with that hope—alongside the true hope I find in the God I believe in, through Jesus, the Son of God—better times will come. Many of you know my situation, but I at least feel that positive changes and new experiences are coming soon. I'm not going to lie, I'm very afraid of a future I don't know, but my message is this, and I've been hearing it a lot lately: always be grateful, even in difficult moments; love your families, forgive and ask for forgiveness from those you need to, and look after your integrity in every sense.

Today I'm sharing a light, citrusy, and comforting recipe for sensitive stomachs. Sometimes, what we have on hand is enough to create something special that everyone at home will enjoy. Looking at the ingredients I had available, I decided to prepare this version of pork loin steak, born from a desire to take care of myself without complicating things and to mix things up a bit, because I don't like to repeat the same dishes. I always try to give them a different twist, even if it's just a small one. This time, the result was a juicy dish with comforting citrus and herbal notes.

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.
