Right now, when I want to subscribe to a community from “All” in all apps I've tried, it takes me 3+ clicks / taps to subscribe, by opening the community first and going through some menus. In some apps it's even more hidden, especially for new joiners not knowing Lemmy and the new apps UI this can be confusing.

I would suggest all app developers to add an option, which adds a button on each post, similar like the save or upvote button, to directly see if we’re already subscribed, and clicking it would subscribe / unsubscribe us.

That would help the adoption of Lemmy and makes it easier to subscribe to all the communities which seem interesting, without going through menus or doing many clicks / taps each time.

If you go to the website for the instance you can list all the communities and subscribe to them very quickly. Just go down the list and tap "subscribe" next to each one you want to subscribe to. It can't be any quicker or simpler.

If I'm not mistaken, the preference was to be able to subscribe to the community, as you see it on your feed, as you resonate with the content posted alongside the core implication of the community. Going to another website to search said instance just to subscribe,is much MORE work, than 3 clicks.
