It depends on your definition of simple. 😉
You could explore a comment subscription plugin like one of these:

If you don’t like the default position of the comment subscription link you’ll likely need to make a child theme and manually implement the subscription option, according to the plugin’s instructions.
Using a child theme means your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

Ah, I see. Well, as I was reading about the P2 theme I found a screenshot somewhere that had the subscribe link where I described it, so I was mostly confused why it’s not there on my installation. I guess they must have modified the P2 theme on their site. Thanks for your help, anyway!
