The comment box needs some default text like “What are your thoughts?” to just help users identify its a comment box.

Currently the box is blank and feels weird

      No need to be aggressive.

      Having placeholder text for inputs describing what the fields is for is quite widespread and not an issue at all. It is true that currently finding where to comment on Lemmy can be a bit disorienting when you begin using the website.

      The box just looks like a box. I thought it was a separator or something. Then I saw the post button and realized the box was actually for commenting.

      A placeholder would be awesome. Pretty much all the websites and apps add a placeholder text.

        And it’s wrong. All inputs must have labels, placeholders are only for visuals.
