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
The comment box needs some default text like “What are your thoughts?”
My two cents are that we should add a neutral text like “Type here to comment”. I know a lot of people, me included, and particularly power users, don’t really like it when websites use overly “informal” language with users.
Open up an issue for this in lemmy-ui and I’ll see what I can add.
This will be in the next release:
Thanks

The point is not whether or not your behavior is tolerable, but whether it is useful.

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.
