OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2014th 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.

How this Works

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:

Genus Aulacophora

The characteristic that is immediately visible is its small, bright orange body, with smooth and shiny elytra (hard wings). Some Aulacophora species also have black spotting patterns on their backs, but the individual I encountered looked plain without any markings. Its size is around 6–8 mm, quite small and agile in moving on the surface of the leaves.

[SPA - ENG] 🤪🥭 Let's make some Mangos Locos!🤪🥭 | 🤪🥭Receta de Mangos Locos! 🤪🥭

This is my first time posting in this community so I'm excited, and what a way to do it with this great recipe for some Mangos locos 🤪🥭. This is an undertaking that my friend Keily made during Easter week and I helped her peeling the mangoes and preparing them (we have been sunny and now I'm tanned 😅). I show them to you because it is an excellent idea for when you feel like having a delicious snack in a Venezuelan-Mexican style. Here are the ingredients:

Otro día jugando voleibol 🏐 con amigos | Another day playing volleyball 🏐 with friends [ESP-ENG]

Hey, how are you, fellow Hivers of the Full Deportes community! Hope you're all well and having a great weekend, guys. On Thursday afternoon-evening I went with some friends who always go there in the afternoons to train volleyball. All these days it has been a bit rainy; however, we noticed that the sunny day had finally arrived. I am not against cloudy and rainy days, but it makes it difficult for us to do any sport on the sports field.

Hive Open Mic Week 263.You Raise Me Up.(Cover by @yayasing).

Hello friends, I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the great music shared here. When I read this week's topic, I immediately remembered a song I'd never sung before but have heard many times, especially the version of "Celtic Woman." You Raise Me Up is a beautiful song that tells us about the value of that person who brightens our lives just by existing, whether it's a partner, a friend or our mother, that special person who supports us and will always be there for us no matter what happens, the one who makes us feel capable of climbing mountains and fighting for our dreams even if they seem distant or impossible. "You Raise Me Up" captures the whole beautiful vibe of a moment of light, of hope, and the strength that comes from that person who truly loves us, just as we are.

(Esp/Eng) Rica ensalada colorida de repollo, vainita, papa y zanahoria con maíz ideal para el almuerzo o cena// Rich colorful salad of cabbage, green beans, potatoes and carrots with corn, ideal for lunch or dinner.

Now I go with the potato, if it is ready I remove it and leave the carrot for 5 more minutes so that it cooks soft, when those minutes are over I remove the carrot and let it rest and then peel it like the potato.
Finally I remove the cabbage after 15 minutes, if it is tender we turn off the stove, with the help of a strainer we strain it and add cold water to make the cabbage tender. See that we already have all the ingredient ready to start joining the ingredients.

"Beating the Heat Summer with Cendol: A Sweet Treat for My Friend to a Cool and Cold Bowl of Cendol."

Hello everyone, now here in Malaysia is hot in the afternoon hot of the sun, and it was shining so bright, it felt like the whole world was on fire. It was one of those super-hot summer days when all you want is something cold to cool you down. Time check, it's 4:30 p.m. I’m thinking of going to the market and I'm asking my Pinay friend to go with me since she only stays opposite my condo, she’s new here in Malaysia. I ask her to come with me to the market so next time she knows where the market is. But before we went to the supermarket on foot, I told her I would pick up my parcel nicely, so next time when she got a parcel, she would know where to pick up.

[ENG|ESP] Sweet potato, coconut and banana dessert (Recipe)

Today I want to share with you a recipe: a sweet potato, coconut and banana candy is a delicious and healthy option for those who are looking for a nutritious snack. From the first bite, you can appreciate the perfect combination of flavors that these ingredients offer. The natural sweetness of the bananas is wonderfully complemented by the flavor of the sweet potatoes, creating a smooth and slightly moist base. The shredded coconut adds an exotic and crunchy touch, providing an interesting texture that makes every bite a pleasure.

[Holos&Lotus] Guided meditations, experience, paths to follow and the benefits I encountered [ENG-ESP] Meditaciones guiadas, experiencia, caminos a recorrer y los beneifcios que encontré

Good morning first of all and let me bring you today a series of thoughts arranged under meditation. As I am not an expert on the subject, I recommend consulting various sources, and listening to one's own experience to make decisions, but without a doubt I recommend taking the following post as a personal experience, and not as an inescapable truth about meditation.
