Can I post to Facebook with my own text?
I'm trying to post a link to the user's feed, text and link on his behalf.
So far I've managed to publish only a link and its details, the part where the user can write the post is left empty for him to fill.
I'm using Facebook SDK for Unity 6.0 with FB.Feed.

It is against Facebook Platform Policy to pre-fill any content on behalf of a user.
"Don't prefill captions, comments, messages, or the user message parameter of posts with content a person didn’t create, even if the person can edit or remove the content before sharing."
See: https://developers.facebook.com/policy/#control

You're half right. There's a possibility to post on the user's behalf through the iOS API, you just have to add a "publish_permission" and apply to Facebook to approve it (explaining why you need it and what is the user exposed to it).
@m_pengolin, With 'publish_actions' you have the ability to publish stories to Facebook without the Share Dialog using the Graph API. You can add a description of your choice to the OG object, but it is against policy to prefill the custom message portion of the story, this should always come from the player. See here for examples of how this should look: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/sharing#sharinggraphapi
