Help, how do I rotate it?
Show an image preview and let the user decide the final orientation.
Just don't strip that bit of metadata? It's not like it's all or nothing.
I’ve noticed sometimes images I upload get rotated as well, shit is broke
Answered elsewhere in this thread by EliteMasterEric:
Someone else mentioned that when an image gets uploaded, any metadata gets stripped. The metadata can include GPS coordinates or other information about the camera that took the photo, so it’s important to strip it, but it also includes a flag for what orientation your phone was in when you took the picture, the idea being to differentiate between landscape and portrait pictures.
Not sure what the best way for lemmy to fix that is.
Decreasing the image’s max width to 1080 helped me get my pictures to show up in the correct orientation.
