When a UI container has no content, a friendly placeholder message appears with guidance:
Channel Messages
An empty channel shows a welcome message and tips for getting started.
Nicklist
Shows "Nobody here" when you are the only user (or the channel is truly empty).
Conversations
When no channels are joined, shows a hint to use /join
and an "Browse channels" button.
URL Catcher
Shows "No URLs captured" until URLs appear in chat.
Notes
Empty state messages disappear automatically when content arrives. The text is not selectable.
