Hashtags stripped from Instagram PESOS via OwnYourGram #18

Open jeremycherfas opened 5 years ago

While trying to do this:

Use hashtags within the description of a post to Instagram and have it returned to my site by OwnYourGram

I encountered this error:

Any word preceded by a # is deleted from the description and turned into a Known tag. Compare, for example, https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2019/pay-no-attention-im-actually-testing-my-photos-to-try on my Known site with the original on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BtGrqFdH3ZI/

Some other notes:

Give us some context:

I like that Known tries to turn hashtags into tags, but I would much prefer it to simply leave them in the description of the photo.

@jeremycherfas I am digging into this as well, does it only happen to you when multiple hashtags are used?

Truth is, I stopped using hashtags in Instagram. They've become another useless marketing tool and it was easier to live without them than to have my site capriciously messed up.
