bug description
When an Instagram post contains only a single image, Cobalt is unable to fetch it, returning the error message "something went wrong when fetching info from instagram and i couldn't get anything for you. if this issue sticks, please report it!"
Examples of problematic posts that contain only one picture:
This works, because it's multiple pictures:
This works, because while it only has one picture it also contains a video:
This also works (only one item, but it's a video):
The single-picture posts work in other Instagram image downloaders, so I imagine it's just a variation in how they format the API response when it's a single image, and cobalt doesn't quite expect the formatting.
