Hello everyone! Team OCD here with another update on our ongoing Community Incubation Program. The communities are trying their best to keep engagement levels up and are ready to welcome and guide new users. Community leaders/moderators continue to highlight great posts in our discord for some added curation.
We aim to support communities, help them grow, and allow users posting on genre-specific topics to find the right community spaces to interact with like-minded individuals and gain through the focused curation done by community leaders.
If you've started a new and unique genre-specific community that has the potential to raise a lot of activity, provided that your community has no existing similar community yet, feel free to apply for our incubation program - either by writing in the comment section or contacting us on our Discord in the #community-incubation channel. You can get more info about the program here.

Photography Lovers has maintained the lead this week and there's no significant change in the ranking in terms of the number of subscribers except Foodies Bee Hive overtaking Hive Gaming in the second spot. Most communities are active and doing pretty well, and people are certainly checking them out as they explore diverse topics and contribute to interesting conversations across Hive. In terms of engagement, communities like Haveyoubeenhere, Movies & TV Shows, and Sports Talk Social had over 900 interactions and 160+ active users. Photography Lovers, Hive Gaming, On Chain Art, and Foodies Bee Hive are a few of the bigger communities that are popular and generate a lot of interaction and engagement on Hive. Emerging communities like Axie Buzz, Silver Bloggers, and Cinnamon Cup Coffee are also showing continuous growth.
What's the one new community you subscribed to recently? We'd love to know in the comments.
We're looking forward to adding more communities that focusing on different subjects to our incubation program, and helping them grow with curation and/or delegations.
These posts aim to highlight the communities as well as their curation accounts that post the curation reports, and if you find a community interesting, do feel free to have a look around or subscribe. They'd be happy to welcome and guide you.
The community moderators/curators are doing a great job trying to onboard and help new users as well as highlighting great content for curation. Users must find the right communities and subscribe to those that interest them, which keeps them active and engaged. Thanks for reading!
We would appreciate it if you want to delegate to @ocdb and earn some daily returns with a low fee which can be tracked on our website and vote for our witness if you appreciate what we're doing on Hive.
Have you stumbled upon some new communities that are unique to the ones above and would like to see them get supported? Feel free to mention them here in the comments or join us on Discord and talk about it there in the #community-incubation channel! Please note that this is only for unique niches/genres of communities, nothing "general original content" or country or language-based.

Quite a well-defined statistics here. I stand with the Foodies Bee Hive community cos I recently got very keen on them and I'm intrigues by what they do. And soon I'd sharing my meal preparations routine. Watch out, we are topping the table soon.
It is good this project I am in the community of New Art I have recently created it in order to show works of incredible painters who have not yet recognized on the platform of Hive, I like to paint like many people and in this community can observe the works, thanks for your great support.

wow, l have been missing a lot. I am so glad to finally be here. I am committed to establishing a hive community here in Ghana which will be exclusively into promotion of hive with great content. Thanks for this great movement. Mobilizing all Ghanaians to help the promotion of hive blockchain is my utmost target for this year.
Hello, friends from @ocd
My account was hacked and I was removed from this community on Discord because you received messages that I did not send.
I already changed my Discord Password.
Could you please log me back in?
Thank you for promoting new communities. I recently started https://peakd.com/c/hive-140905/created which is for Real Estate Investors. LeoFinance is a great channel but it doesn't deal much with real estate. I am in active in another non-hive community called BiggerPockets that only deals with real estate investing. There is very strong interest in that community and I think Hive can be similar in scale. Let me know the best way to grow!
I'm only a very new
Hivean, but I was on 
Steem about three years ago. Pretty sure they didn't even have "communities" back in those days. One community that I've joined since finding Hive is the Silver Bloggers community, being that I'm in the 50+ age group bracket. I've also joined the STEMGeeks community, because I am mainly going to be blogging about my homelab, which I am setting up on a 
Raspberry Pi single board computer. Since arriving on Hive, I have created a template in GIMP which will add the relevant community icon(s) to my post-head image, along with my common border. I'm starting to get the hang of these communities and tribes in Hive.
