While ALL community widgets offer the ability to create interactive discussions or "commenting" on your pages, they each have slightly different aesthetics, structure and functionality - lending themselves to slightly different uses. SEE THESE BELOW:
All Community Widgets (Discussion Widget, Wall/Forum Widget, Comment Area Widget, Reviews Widget) require users to "login" (or create an account) as a "Member" of your site in order to participate/comment.

Comment Area Widget
The Comment Area widget adds a simple comment section to any page within your site or funnel. While it’s most often used in blog posts, courses, and membership areas, it can also be added to product pages, event funnels, or any page where you want interaction or feedback from your visitors that are members.
Simply drag the "Comments Area" widget from the widgets menu to where you would like it onto the page onto your page. Click here: How To Configure Your Settings
Discussion Widget
The “Discussion” Widget is probably best used in a way that is similar to Discord or Slack - allowing you as the site owner to create discussion "Channels" (aka: Topics or Discussion Threads) and allowing your members to comment or chat with others within that Channel.
Along with their comment they will also be able to upload images or create polls for others to vote on.
Please note: Visitors/Members are not able to create their own Channel, they can simply "comment" on the Channels or "Discussion Threads" you have created as the Site Owner.
Please also note that unlike the Wall/Forum widget or the Comment Area widget - comments on a Discussion widget will not appear in the "moderation" section under Community

Wall/Forum Widget
The “Wall/Forum” Widget is probably best used in a way that is similar to Facebook or Reddit - allowing your visitors/members create their own Posts within a single "Wall" (or "Multiple Walls" / Categories) that you set up as the site owner.
Others will be able to reply or comment on a member's Post. Posts and Comments/Replies will also allow for image uploading, text styling and poll creation.
Please note: While Visitors/Members will be able to create their own new "Posts" to share information, ask questions or gather others to discuss a topic, they will not be able to create their own "wall" - ie: category/collection of Posts.
