Hello, Bluesky! I have data from 26,000+ Latter-day Saint sacrament meetings and I blog about patterns, trends, and fun trivia about congregational hymns and how often they're sung. I post regular updates about new (and old) findings and ask for weekly solicitations for more data.

Adoption of the fourth batch has been slow going (nor more than 2% of wards each week). It’s been long enough since their release though so we might see more today.
