Links from Instagram 404 sometimes

I've been getting intermittent reports from people on Instagram that they get a 404 when they click the SL in the bio. I believe it's the Instagram built-in browser bolting on a bunch of extra query params, and SingleLink is choking on them.

I was able to circumvent this by appending a # to the url like: https://singlel.ink/u/fnbdenver#

Unfortunately, Instagram sanitizes the # off the end :(

If I add # Instagram changes it to %23 and it works, though is not clean looking. Hope to see a fix soon.

The app removes the trailing #, but you can just as easily use an open source URL shortener like https://kutt.it or https://dub.sh to prevent that
