Again, limiting it to my experience. Some congregations celebrate Holy Communion every week, some less often (1st Sunday + special holidays is common in my experience). My wife's former Free Methodist congregation very rarely did when we attended. That was jarring.

huh! TIL. I always figured celebrating Communion is a big part of going to church at all! But there's a great big world out there of folks who clearly feel differently.

There is so much variation from church to church, on almost any subject. Personally, I like regular Communion, but I know my church preferences skew to liturgy and ritual.

This is bizarre to me, taking the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the week is like a foundational thing in my birth church, to the point that they offer it for Sunday evening services if you weren’t there Sunday morning

Once a month for United Methodists.

As far as I know a lot of Protestants only do it once a month

Catholics offer communion every day, and most practicing folks take it once a week. The Catholic liturgical calendar has no bearing on whether communion is offered
