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?
It’s a little bit clunky, you don’t have anything on the user’s page but if the user has any posts you can click the 3dots menu and it’s there.
If the user has no posts you may need to delete from the database directly for now. There might be an API but I’m not familiar with Lemmy’s API.
but if the user has any posts
They are unverified, they can’t have posts.

Do you know by any chance how to do this in a clean way, because I tried and there have been restovers.
