OCD's support is expanding!
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
Hello everyone! This is the 248th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its <b><a href="https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@ocd/ocd-communities-incubation-program-update-43">Community Incubation Program</a></b>. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
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. 
</div>

<h4>How this Works</h4>

<div class="text-justify">
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.
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
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.
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

<blockquote>I love autumn, the nature that I usually observe during spring and summer, now it has an overflow of the most beautiful colors. A lot of people associate autumn with rain and bad weather, but it seems to me that every leaf resembles a flower, even if the flowers slowly begin to wither and lose their shine.

<blockquote>I have been very busy with my second branch opening. September was very tough for me because I had to process business permits, do the staff hiring and I was finalizing my store signage. Last Sunday I finally had my "me time". I rushed to Ayala mall since I have a pampering session scheduled at 11 in the morning in Nailaholics Salon. It was raining and I don’t want to go out but I don’t want to cancel my appointment because I will be busy on weekdays. I also loved the salon since I have my favourite "nail person" who handles me well especially my in-grown in my toes ( hahaha). I arrived around 10:30 in the morning, I wanted to be early because I don’t want to be late with my appointment. When I reached the salon they asked if I have a vaccination card or if I was already fully vaccinated. It is part of the mall’s protocol and for the safety of everyone as well. It feels relaxing and pampering every time I visit the salon plus I love the ambience too. Calm and very relaxing and the staff were very friendly there.

<blockquote>Although I am usually always busy, I have taken some time to do some activities, among them I had to take care of watering my garden because my neighbor, Mr. Miguel has gone to spend a long time with his children. The truth is that I thought that my garden, the one with beautiful flowers that he had planted, was not going to resist his absence. Even less because I am in the sampling and writing stage, that is, with the scientific mode activated.

<blockquote>Hi, today I want to tell you a little bit about bread. It is an integral part of Bulgarian culture. We follow a reality show about Bulgarian life and culture (The Farm) and last week there was a ritual/custom about bread. I thought about what one of the participants said - he has given up modern life and gone to live in the countryside making bread using old recipes.

<blockquote>Yes, most Alaskan fishing charters I know of typically arrange for gutting & cleaning their clients' catch (especially helpful when dealing with those monster-sized halibut!). Yet most of the fishing I did was on my own near my dad's house, so I seldom had that luxury. Yes, that memory of catching my first fish all by my lonesome is pretty vivid... as is the memory of cleaning it. I brought the fish into the house, shouting to my dad, "look what I caught!". This was before the days of helicopter parenting, so his response was something like, "Great! Now you get to clean it". After very briefly covering the basics of it, he promptly went back to his newspaper.

<blockquote>Like the ground squirrels or the hamsters, these cute bunnies that live in the urban wildlife of Vienna, are also not very shy, and you can approach them to a distance of a few meters without them fleeing. This is one thing I really like about urban wildlife photography because it is way easier to get a nice picture from animal that don't have a big escape distance. This is also important for bird photography.
