Joint_state_publisher helps you to simulate movement of nonfixed joints defined in your urdf model. If you run joint_state_publisher gui, you should see in popup window for example continous joints and you can move with them. If you run joint_state_publisher, it looks just like you described above.

If you want to be sure it works, you should see your robot in rviz2 with correctly placed links and joints. :)

Hope it helps
