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.

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
