How can I manage my users?
(0.0.0.0:8536)
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
@max-P thanks for the quick reply. but please tell me how can I manage my users the lemmy-ui has limited features.
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.
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
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.
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.
