It seems like there should be a button "Subscribe" or something on the right side of the screen, but there isn't.

Hi,

There's a website called openrss that can make an RSS Feed from discussions. You can see how it works here.
If you own the repository, you could try using the discussion workflow event on GitHub Actions.

@DmT021 Just found this:

It seems you can Watch the repo with a custom selection of events, and in my case I also only want to be notified of Discussions. I've just set it, we'll see how it works :)

[DmT021]

Wow. I think this is it. Thanks.

[DmT021]

Although it seems strange. "Discussions" is an entity of Organisation, but "watch" is an action on a repo

It would be great if you can subscribe to discussions with a specific label or category to reduce noise.

Agreed. Other times this has been brought up:

You can usually subscribe to discussions by clicking the "Follow" or "Subscribe" button on the thread or in your account settings Dubai Khaleej. Check if there’s an option for email notifications to stay updated on new replies.

That subscribes to one specific discussion thread. The conversation is around subscribing to an entire category of discussion threads.

Did you get this answered yet @DmT021 ? If not..
discussion post, look for the Notifications section, there should be a button named Subscribe.

See the bottom right of the screenshot from this very Discussion to see what the section and button looks like:
