Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 Instagram (currently) is taking about 10 seconds to alternately return 502
 Bad Gateway or 200 with a response that contains a broken image.

 Our default timeout is 5 seconds.

 Might not be the worst idea ever to create our own embed handler for
 Instagram that fixes both issues:
 * Increase the timeout
 * change the end of the image URL from `_7.jpg` to `_8.jpg` after
 requesting `*_8.jpg` and confirming that it returns 200.

 Both are giant hacks and the internet is the wild wild west.
