I think this is because we're stripping metadata off the image upon upload.

Can you share the file directly to your GitHub comment so we can compare?

Someone in my community managed to reproduce the issue too, and it does seem to be due to the metadata. I hope this can help too Before upload:

After upload: I checked the metadata of this image and the width and height are flipped. In the first image it's the other way round(as it should be).

@alectrocute Sorry I forgot to mentioned in my previous comment, hope the stuff I posted helps. I'm not familiar with rust, pict-rs or magick so I can't figure out the reason behind this behaviour.😅

Issue seems fixed with the latest lemmy update which is using pict-rs 4.0 :D
