If you make a filter for long thread/ from @pluralistic then filter it off your home feed into a reading list, you get the headline/first post, then all follow-ups filter off. So you just get the base ' here is the topic ' and everything else is magiced away to something you can click on to follow up at your leisure. He is 100% consistent in this format.
That isn't to say rss might not be a better option for you! Just presenting the choice.
