If you were logged in and go back to the page and try to comment again (or if you were replying to a specific comment, click reply on that comment again), the old comment you were writing might appear. No promises, though.
We usually still save the comment in your browser local storage. So it being gone is a bit surprising. I can look into it and see whether I can reproduce it (though it’s also plausible you had some settings activated that prevented localstorage from working, like incognito mode on some browsers).

The problem is I was not logged in on that browser. It asked me to log in to post the comment, and after I did so the comment was gone.

I think I was on Brave browser, which may store less locally, so it’s possible that was a contributor.
Ah, yeah, that’s definitely a browser I haven’t tested very much, and it would make sense for it to store less. Really sorry for that experience!
