I’d be perfectly happy with a link that takes users to the forum where a dialog asks something like this :

> **Do you want to watch the first post for CATEGORY?**
> 
> You will be notified of new topics in this category but not replies to the topics.
> 
> Yes / No [buttons]

Edit: and it looks like the API already allows this (without the dialog) for topics: [Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/#operation/setNotificationLevel)
