How often does a Bluesky counter update?
Every 5 seconds while the page is open. That interval is not arbitrary: it is the fastest we can read Bluesky without degrading the crawler that feeds our directory. Read live from the public Bluesky AppView API. Exact follower count and the fastest refresh we can offer anywhere.
One reading serves every viewer. A thousand people watching the same handle is still one request to Bluesky per interval, which is why we can offer this at all.
