The comment box doesn't feel like one (lemmy.ml)

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 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.
