You need to use diffForHumans()

$comment->created_at->diffForHumans();

You're looking for diffForHumans(), which is a Carbon method for returning a date relative to now. On Model instances, like your Comment class, the attribute created_at should already be converted to a Carbon instance, so you can simply call:

{{ $comment->created_at->diffForHumans() }}

This should return something similar to 1 hour ago, 5 months ago, etc. See https://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/#api-humandiff for full details.
