    sudo btrfs subvolumes create /path/to/subvolume

    If you don’t configure anything, root will already be a subvolume.

    If you wanna make a used directory a subvolume, you have to move the contents first, and move them back after creation.

    The only thing that takes time here is the move

      Yeah, but Timeshift uses the Ubuntu style subvolume naming, @ for root, @home for /home, so you have to create them that way, otherwise, it won’t work. It can work if you tell it to ignore home, but checks for @ as root on start up.
