  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there,

  Before you were limited to adding a specific list of widgets to your site via Appearance → Customize → Widgets, you can now add any block to your site’s widget area.

  Therefore, what you can do is create a widget block:

  Then, you can add the subscription form block to the newly created widget area:

  Users can add email address to follow your site just like before:

  

  Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.
