Is it possible to subscribe to all comments from a certain sentence that doesn't belong to me without leaving a comment under it?

Currently it's not possible. What is your use case?

I often find some discussions very interesting, but I don't feel like commenting because I have nothing to say. One recent example is this one:
https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/8619497
But I happen upon something really interesting like this quite often. Sometimes I stumble upon an interesting question that is not answered yet, and I want to wait for the answer too. I just don't want to miss it, and I believe I mostly miss them.
For questions, especially if the question has been there for years, I sometimes add something like "I've got this question too" - it's not really constructive, but this way it gets a higher chance of being noticed, and it also "subscribes" me to that thread.
But I often don't have anything to contribute, but still interested in the discussion and don't want to miss anything, taking into account some discussions are happening at the speed of one post per month or something.

You could just add a simple comment like „Interesting discussion” and then you will be notified if the discussion goes on.

That's a cool workaround, but it doesn't contribute to the discussion at all, especially if there are more than one person who would like to "subscribe".

For now, you can comment and delete it later. I think it`s the best approach for now

I believe if I delete my comment I won't receive notifications for that sentence.

You would indeed no longer receive notifications if you remove your comment.
I created an issue on GitHub:
