Many of us came from Reddit and are still exploring Lemmy by browsing “Everything” or “All”.

Right now, when I want to subscribe to a community from “Everything” it takes me 4 clicks / taps. If I didn’t enable opening a community directly, it takes me even 6 clicks / taps.

Can we have 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? With the possibility to disable the additional question if I really want to subscribe?

That would help the adoption of Lemmy / Sync and makes it easier to subscribe to all the communities which seem interesting.

        Yes, but that’s still three clicks. I was thinking more like being able to long-press the name of the community and the select either subscribe or block.

      It’s even harder to navigate to block a user. I’d love if blocking were more direct in all cases: community and user.

    Voyager has a long press on the community name that brings up a filter/block bottom sheet. It’s really useful.
