The feature mentioned in this issue would help users subscribe to sites later in Follow.
Without this feature, I'd have to call the discover endpoint in the extension and add subscribe URLs to the content field of each entry sent to Follow.

Clear and concise description of the problem
The inbox usually acts like a to-do list. I typically take two actions on an inbox entry:
Suggested solution
Lazy Discovery - Discover on Action
Add a button to the content view of each inbox entry that has a URL.
When the button is clicked, it should open a modal or popover suggesting related feeds for the user to follow.
Alternative
Eager Discovery - Discovery on Retrieved
Discover related feeds, either synchronously or asynchronously, when the backend retrieves an inbox entry with URL.
Add a button to the content view of each inbox entry that has related feeds not currently followed by the user.
(Optional) Include a highlight effect on the button if it's the user's first time seeing the feed.
Clicking the button will display a popover to help users follow the feed.
Additional context
I'm building a Chrome extension to send readable pages to Follow's Inbox. https://github.com/xc2/follow-it-later.
