OCD's support is expanding!
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
Hello everyone! This is the 253rd 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-44">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>"This is my village, this is my home." These lines from the poem of the 19th century Russian poet Ivan Surikov often pop up in my head when I look down from the mountain at my village. Of course, my locality is no longer a village, but rather a small town, but the lines are still spinning in my head.

<blockquote>Have you tried cooking squash cake using firewoods? If not yet, I will show you how. 😊 I call it squash cake because the main ingredient is the squash. A healthy ingredient for the cake. 😊 Actually, I already shared some days ago, the squash maja blanca with cheese toppings only. Now, I prefer to call it Squash cake and this time with two different toppings. The cheese and the peanuts toppings. The procedure of cooking my very own squash cake is same as cooking the maja blanca. But, my squash cake don't have coconut milk unlike the maja blanca that have.
