I have setup the Lemmy backend but I can't see the backend running just only json is displaying. Lemmy ui is also setup properly but with very limited features. See the attached screenshot of the backend. I run "cargo run" command to start the Lemmy Backend

The lemmy backend doesn't have a UI, all it talks is JSON through APIs. That's what lemmy-ui is for, it's the UI that goes on top. It's also why the default setup overlays it on top of the backend: they're meant to work together where the UI handles browser requests, but if it's a JSON/API request then it goes to the server instead. They provide the same data in different formats on the same URLs.

@max-P thanks for the quick reply. but please tell me how can I manage my users the lemmy-ui has limited features.

You just go directly to the user's page, and from there you can do things like ban/delete/purge.

As for communities, you can promote users to moderators via the 3 dots overflow menu once they have posted/commented on a community.

Otherwise, there just isn't really a user management page or system. It's a bit clunky but that's how it works at the moment.

I've created a test account, but emails didn't work to verify and now I have an account I can't resend verification and there isn't a purge button.

How exactly do you purge a user?

What would you like to manage?

If you know SQL, you can view your users in the database directly.

I actually manage my users like wants to see which user subscribed to the community, randomly send alerts to users, etc.

I am very much familiar with SQL queries, but it is hard to run queries all the time.

randomly send alerts to users

typically you make yourself moderator of a community or as admin of a site you can feature a post, make it appear at the top of the listing
