    Okay, sorry I can’t help you directly, but we’ve just got this under control on Liftoff!, and the secret is to raise an issue asking your devs to “bake in the photo orientation information from the EXIF data as Lemmy strips that EXIF data from most images on upload”. That should give them enough info to solve it, if not tell them to look at out source code 😄.

    If that sounds a bit too technical, just give it a few days and most apps will get this under control. In the meantime, if you stick to photos you’ve taken in portrait mode, you should be fine.

      I’m not a computer expert, but I think I understand what you’re saying. So Lemmy deletes EXIF metadata from photos when they are uploaded, and since part of that data is specifying the photo orientation, it results in the uploaded photo in the wrong orientation. So by keeping just the orientation metadata in the uploaded photo, it will correct the orientation. I’ll bring it up to the Voyager devs!

        Yes that’s it exactly!

      Hmmmm… I did take this photo in portrait mode, but somehow Lemmy still messed it up. The plot thickens!

        Okay that is strange. Hopefully the Voyager devs will get to the bottom of it.

          I posted about the problem earlier in the Voyager community, and one of the devs fixed it super fast. The new release of Voyager just came out and my photos are no longer rotated wrong! Woohoo!

            That’s great! Looking forward to seeing more upright cockatiels in future!
