Sometimes images are presented rotated through metadata, rather than actually rotating the image. Check the metadata on the original to see if it includes this. Then open an issue on lemmy's github project, if there isn't one already.
Or maybe it's just its way of telling you that you should be taking pictures like that in landscape orientation.
EXIF! I forgot about that.
But it's not that. EXIF metadata is correct.
I tested a landscape pic, but it's still in landscape when I upload.
I will try to run a few more tests and then I will open an issue.
I do not know but I think the problem arises because the EXIF data gets stripped when you post so the orientation information is lost? If the EXIF orientation differs from the actual orientation, it will be rotated after uploading.
