It's probably related to the exif data on rotation of your phone. I guess that is stripped when uploading with other exif data for privacy reasons (to not expose GPS coordinates etc.) and then the real orientation shows up.
I guess, but cannot tell for sure; I did not rotate the pic from the time I took it until I posted. One can "preview" a post, but once you click preview you cannot back up to make edits (at least with my configuration - Firefox on Ubuntu Linux) - browser back button does not work. A mystery!
Yeah, this looks like an issue with the image upload service used by Lemmy. If I find the time I will look into the configuration of it in more detail, maybe there is a way to preserve the orientation better. But by default this seems to be the same for all Lemmy instances, so at least I didn't mis-configure anything.
The browser back button thing is a bit annoying as Firefox recognizes that you already entered something and asks if you really want to leave the page or not, but this usual popup somehow doesn't show up when pressing the back-button (it does when trying to reload the page). I am not exactly sure if this is a Firefox or a Lemmy bug, but it is a bit annoying.
I tried disabling Privacy Badger - that sometimes interferes - but no help
I rotated 90 right and the picture was 180 from OP, so I rotated back 90 left and tadaa:
