OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1800th 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:

I hope everyone had a wonderful week and a very restful weekend. I'm doing great, even though it's freezing cold here. This time, I'm sharing a delicious recipe for rolled pancakes with cheese. This recipe brings back childhood memories, as my mom used to make them for my brother and me as a snack or dinner, along with a nice hot cup of coffee. These pancakes are dangerous, though! Because they look rolled up, they make you think they're smaller, and you don't get full easily, haha.

I remember him mentioning three or four names, including the usual suspects like the ever-present Jimi Hendrix. Okay. What really made me turn up my nose was that, according to him, the last true guitar revolutionizer, chronologically speaking, was the Edge, guitarist of U2.

It's always good to remember and recommend a good K-drama, especially if it was one of the best in 2025, with a unique charm, excellent chemistry between its characters, and a culinary awakening that will make you want to try every dish they present.

Nowadays, it's more common to see someone writing on their phone than in a notebook with a pen, and that makes me question how customs have changed, and I'm no exception. In fact, I discovered that I have very few pens, which shows that I haven't written a long text by hand in a very long time, but rather that I do everything virtually. This makes it clear that with each passing year, things change more and more, but I'm not here to get reflective, but rather to present Buhito's small collection of pens.

From a purely practical perspective, the small quick "pickup impulse items" that I made because we should have them and we sold them for $6.00 in 2012? Well, we're still selling for $6.00 in 2026. All things considered, we should be selling those for $10.00-$12.00 today. Maybe more.

this is normal in Africa in the summer.So much normal it's to be expected.Not much to talk about then.How's your new normal workin' out?

In this episode of The Support & Kindness Podcast, host Greg Shaw and co‑hosts Rich, Jay, Derek, and Sam share honest stories about living with ongoing pain, how it reshapes identity and relationships, and what actually helps when the pain does not go away.

Pluribus, to tell you the truth, it was quite a journey to get to this series, because in addition to it being recommended to me and hearing a little bit about it, there are also the awards it has been nominated for and even won. I did my best to watch it because it is only available on the Apple TV platform, which is not a common one in my daily life. It was not a platform I paid for, but I decided to take the plunge and see what it was all about.

This time, I'm bringing you a beautiful song I composed a few years ago during the pandemic, called "The Notes in My Notebook." It's about a crisis of feelings, sadness, and how years of deep pain, when you try to talk about how you feel, makes you feel worse than before because you cry and all that. I love this song very much, and I'd like you to listen to it with your heart. I hope you all had wonderful holidays with your families, both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, as well as Christmas. Thank you for always listening to the music and sharing it with everyone, and a huge hello to the entire Hive Open Mic community.

I have been a fan of the Caracas Lions, the best baseball team in Venezuela, my entire life, and of course, I have always been against our eternal rival: the Magallanes Navigators. I must admit that I was more fanatical before than I am now, since after my father's death and the decline of the Venezuelan professional baseball league, I know little about the teams, the scores, or their position in the standings. But when I was young, I followed my team, celebrated their victories, and cried over their defeats.

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.
