How this Bluesky counter works
@nytimes.com has 1,343,884 Bluesky followers. The counter above re-reads that number every 5 seconds while the page is open and animates the change.
No social platform pushes follower counts to anyone in real time, ours included. Every live counter on the internet - including the ones streamers put on screen - polls a number on an interval and animates the gap. Read live from the public Bluesky AppView API. Exact follower count and the fastest refresh we can offer anywhere.
Bluesky exposes the exact integer, so this counter shows a measured number rather than a rounded one. When a reading fails we hold the previous value and label it instead of extrapolating a plausible-looking replacement.
The daily chart above is not from this session: it is 75 days of readings from the Bluesky directory we run, which has tracked @nytimes.com since June 10, 2026. Over that window the account went from 1,326,614 to 1,343,854 followers.
