 I agree that long forms should be shown with some care. There is also a readability issue: showing an article among other small notes in an endless scroll is a mess and devalues the content.

But I also think it is important to promote this kind of content in generic clients, because they are definitely the ones with a higher effort factor, so they usually have interesting value. As a basic suggestion, I would list them in the user profile in a separate view (e.g., "blog"), and always open them in a dedicated view.

Clients could then implement an opt-in and per user option to alert about new long form content, such as including an abstract in the feed (rss style) or showing a mark on the user's profile.
