first you set the role in dashboard so they can reply to comments, so in the Add column for the category permission uncheck discussions but leave comments. Double check all the permissions. Then save.

Depending on your theme there is some theme based logic to remove the button for guest.

copy /applications/vanilla/views/modules/newdiscussion.php to
/themes/[your theme]/views/modules/

creating the folder structure first.

then open up the file and wrap everything bellow the first line in

if(array_key_exists('Discussion', $Data)) {
   $CatID =  $Data['Discussion']->PermissionCategoryID;
}else if(array_key_exists('Category', $Data)) {
   $CatID =$Data['Category']->PermissionCategoryID)
}else{
   $CatID =  'any';
}
if (Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Vanilla.Discussions.Add',TRUE, 'Category',$CatID){
[button code]
}

where [button code] is everything before the first line.

$CatID =$Data['Category']->PermissionCategoryID)
should be
$CatID =$Data['Category']->PermissionCategoryID;
