[InstagramBridge] HTML escape codes in Instagram Bridge. #5077

Description

@jacksaturn

There are HTML escape codes appearing in the content_html field of RSS feeds created with the Instagram Bridge.

So far I've seen numerous examples of
' being replaced by '
and
being replaced by '’'

In some cases, a word like "y'all" is replaced by y&<a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/039">#039</a>;all because the hashtag in the escape code is being detected as an Instagram tag.

I'm assuming that these HTML escape codes are in place to prevent the apostrophes from breaking the JSON layout, but I'm wondering if there might be an elegant way to achieve the same goal. Would \' work, for example?

I'm self-hosting the newest version of RSS-Bridge in a Docker container. So far I haven't hit any restrictions due to rate limiting. Thanks for this excellent bridge!
