I was an Orthodox church goer some years ago. So people go to church, in Russian tradition, on Saturday evenings for Night service (often from 6 PM to 8), and pray and confess at that time if they want to take the communion the day after. Then Sunday morning is the day of the weekly liturgy (they don't like calling it mass like Catholics), beginning at 9 AM and ending at 12. People feel free to show up at any time between the beginning of the service and the end. During Lent time, the 40 days before Easter, people often go everyday to church, and fast and pray. There are at least 200 days of fasting in Orthodoxy, some of total fast, others of abstinence (from animal fat, meat, wine, fish, oil...)
You can go to any Orthodox church and pray there, even if you are not baptized. If on the other hand, you want to become a member of the community and take the communion, you'll have to be baptized and accepted officially by the church. Even if you're not baptized, you'll be given a piece of bread at the end of the services, with a blessing. This bread is not the communion, more like a cookie and a blessing from the priest.
