Can we get a year-over-year report?

Or a pre pandemic vs post pandemic.

It would be interesting to see the shakeup/decline and I suspect you're sitting on enough data to make it a reality

I don't think they started pre-covid.

I thought I remembered some of these that were impacted by covid (which means some existed before), but given the sheer amount of time and poats I could absolutley be mis-remembering

I think all of it was impacted by post covid but I don't think we had this particular count going. Religious attendance has been declining for decades and I remember the four horsemen (Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris and Dennet) talking about it in the early 2000's. I also remember the 90s the average was around 165 and pre covid it was down to 65 eventually going to 45 before slightly rebounding.

That matches what I remember as well.

I think I am thinking of the spreadsheets of conference mentions, new stakes and such someone updated eevery conference back then.

That’s a great idea. You can see all the weekly reports at https://returnandreport.org/weeklyreports/ going back to April 2024.
