Lemmy removes EXIF data from pictures, since it includes potentially private information such as phone model, where IRL the pic is from, date, time, etc. But as a side effect, it also removes a tidbit of info that says "rotate this pic when showing it".

The way that I usually solve this* is by editing the picture in Kolourpaint. Either cropping it or resizing it.

*by coincidence to post cat pictures. Yours is making such a silly face :3 love it!

    Are you sure you don't just have a sideways cat?

    Spider-cat, Spider-cat

    Doing things where the spider's at

    Spins a web, lands on feet

    Catches thieves, he's really neat

    Look out, here comes the Spider-cat

    Did you hold your phone sideways while posting it?

    What app are you using, and is it up to date? Liftoff had an issue a few weeks ago doing this, but it was fixed in an update.

    You’re posting using the webUI? If you upload it elsewhere and post does the same thing happen?

    Maybe you accidentally had rotation lock on when you took them. Happened to me a few times

    That happens to me on Reddit as well. I only use it on my Mac so it’s usually an HEIC file from my phone I’m posting. If I convert it to a JPEG before it posts in the correct orientation. Lots of things don’t accept heic files so I have a pretty seamless workflow to do it often.
