OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 330th 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:

Welcome to the holiday special of proto26's plants update! We were this close to using my mystery citrus 🍋/🍊 tree (on the right) as the Christmas tree. Sadly, we found the lost stand for the artificial tree and so are using that one. Oh well. Next to the citrus pot you can make out the silhouette of some kind of bromeliad. That's my pineapple plant making a cameo! There is a single laurel plant that is my only plant on the piano. The rest belong to other family members.

Little by little, thanks to permanent study and constant practice, my brain realizes that it can do things better and sends clearer orders to my hand to draw cleaner strokes, which translates into higher quality in the drawing.

Common cranes belong to the Gruidae family, which encompasses 15 different crane species. All cranes are large birds, and most of the species can be easily identified. They fly in a characteristic V shape formation, or in an oblique line, and it's not uncommon to see groups of hundreds of individuals.

Deserts are cool, especially at night. To someone accustomed to humidity high enough you can drink the air it was a bit of an unwelcome surprise to say the least. I'd read about that happening but reading about it doesn't do justice to experiencing it.

There's nothing better than finding someone with their hands in the dirt, but in this case, it's with their paws in the pollen. I want to share some pictures of several pollinators who enjoy their work to the fullest.

The truth is that sometimes I write because I have great conversations with me. As a child, she could spend hours and hours talking to me. Of course, he lived among adults and I did not belong to their conversations, so I made up my own.

It's snowing again! I heard that it will rain this coming weekend so all the fresh snow is going to melt soon. I had to shovel but I wanted to enjoy snowshoeing before all the powder snow melts and becomes icy. I just walked around my property this time.

Gardening is always been my stress reliever and so I always find time to look for some improvement since we don't have the most fertile soil. Today I'm gonna share one of the most organic ways or mediums for planting which is the rice hulls that is an abundance in my area because of the large number of rice paddies here. I will teach you how I used them for my repotted plants and also for my new seedlings.

A little bit about the benefits of potato, not only giving us fiber but also supply for our body many vitamins and minerals. And it works very well at preventing any heart disease and also good vegetables in keeping our body fit. So today, I will make a simple dish with potatoes and don't take so much time to make it. The process of making this dish is so simple and we can add in any of our favorite ingredients to turn it into a yummy potato.

This plant was just given to me as a gift, it is a Pilea Depressa. It’s a plant with very small leaves and short stems, it may not exceed 10 cm in length and it’s often used in baskets to show off its hanging appearance.

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.
