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.
