No, they can't. You can only attach images, video clips or audio clips.

There's a list of compatible media file types at https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-post-images-videos-or-audio-in-mastodon-what-can-i-attach-to-a-post-how-do-i-post-gifs/

By the way, if you're looking for a method for posting long-form text on the Fediverse there are several blogging platforms that support it. You can post unlimited length posts on these platforms and people can follow and interact with your blog from Mastodon etc.
