Regarding your image rotation: When you rotate an image, it's often not done as an actual movement of data, but as an added EXIF tag. "Take this image and display it at this angle."

EXIF tags can store a lot of malicious shit like the GPS location of your photo, so lemmy aggressively strips them out. Better take your photos the right way from the start and/or use a robust photo manipulation software that will actually rearrange the data instead of adding a tag.

I hope Lemmy doesn’t strip all EXIF tags… There’s important things in there about colour, copyright, etc that should be kept.

I’ve encountered the same issue as OP where Lemmy was incorrectly rotating an image, and I couldn’t figure out how to fix it. It worked perfectly fine on other sites that strip personal EXIF data like Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc; it was just Lemmy that was unhappy.

  I’ve found that taking s screenshot of the pic solves the issue, for me at least

  Lemmy is much more aggressive about it than the other sites you mentioned. Dunno what to tell you since you're hoping otherwise, but that's what's going on.

  So far as I know it does. Otherwise why strip the rotation data?
