When you click the dropdown button to see replies to a post in a channel, you are presented with a "Subscribe" button and "To reply to this message you need to subscribe to this community." However, it is possible to see replies to a post without subscribing to the channel if you are only browsing channels and want to do so. Just click on the time at the top of the post to view it outside of the channel and the drop-down will work. At this point, it will also look like you can reply, but that is not the case, attempts to post a reply will give you the same message, only without the "Subscribe" button. If you find yourself in that situation because you're browsing a profile but want to subscribe to a channel, just click on the channel name at the bottom of te post, this will take you to the channel where you'll have a "Subscribe" button. Nothing to see here, everything works in two very distinct completely consistent manners.
