Note: I’ve no idea why the uploader decided to rotate the image, when I’ve tried rotating the original image in a way that’d fix it only to see that it didn’t matter

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.
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.
I’ve found that taking s screenshot of the pic solves the issue, for me at least
So far as I know it does. Otherwise why strip the rotation data?
