Description: A combination tool with a knife extended lengthwise and a fork and spoon perpendicular to that, carved out of scrap wood.

Apologies that the image is rotated sideways, Lemmy seems to randomly do that for some of the images I upload.

Doubles as a cross and a stake for vampires! I'm not sure what the spork is supposed to help with in this situation. Dig up garlic?

Apparently it's because when you saved your image, your photo editor set its orientation as exif data. Lemmy doesn't know how to respect that, so it shows in the original orientation. Maybe try rotating to a different orientation and back in your image editor and then uploading? If that doesn't work, you could also try uploading to imgur and linking from there or something.

This is the second time Lemmy threw me a 90⁰ rotated image, when my OG image shows upright on my phone.

I may have to see about converting to PNG before uploading to try to circumvent this issue in the future, at least for the time being.

Also, that didn't come from any photo editor, that's straight from the camera app. T-Mobile Revvlry Plus.

Might be the camera app that's saving the exif data, possibly. The PNG trick might work, or maybe using an app that actually rotates without using exif data.

Just might be. I'm familiar with EXIF tags, but it's like there isn't a solid standard on how different libraries and services process it.

I dunno yet. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, and I'm sure lemmy will start processing images properly soon enough anyways.
