OCD Communities Incubation Program - Update #7

Hey everyone! Team OCD here with an update on the ongoing Community Incubation Program. So far, we've seen good results within the communities with respect to growth, and each of them are trying their best to keep engagement levels up and are ready to welcome and guide new users. Community leaders/moderators continue to highlight posts in our discord for some added curation. We also hope to conduct some contests in future to further boost engagement in smaller communities and give them added visibility. Since our last post we also launched the inaugural issue of our OCD incubation compilation post which is an initiative to guide users and their posts on specific topics to a more relevant existing community.

Our aim is to support communities, help them grow and allow users posting on genre specific topics 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 new and unique genre-specific community that has the potential to raise a lot of activity and doesn't exist 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.

Natural Medicine, On Chain Art, Photography Lovers, Hive Gaming and Foodies Bee Hive are some of the bigger communities that are popular and generate a lot of interaction and engagement.

We're still waiting on some communities to give their info. The communities listed below can join our Discord to get in touch with us for onboarding into the program!

We're looking forward to adding more communities focusing on different subjects to our incubation program, and helping them grow with curation/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/subscribe. They'd be happy to welcome/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. With our Community Incubation, we want to reward the content creators as well as curators. It's important that users 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/language based.
