apologies for that, I'm rather new to the language I'm using for this site still, and I put it together rather fast, so there were loads of issues with it crashing, all fixed now I'm pretty sure
(tldr it was accidentally doing millions of requests a second, maxing out the server cpu and ram. even other services were crashing on it lol)
yeah, it's made so it updates in real-time, should have a maximum of around a minute of delay if the server is running properly and Reddit aren't blocking us
