Twenty Fifteen displays full posts on the blog page, whether or not you have added text to the excerpt field in the post editor.
If you’d like to display only part of your post on the blog page with Twenty Fifteen, you’ll need to use the More tag:

This sort of code tweak isn’t possible on WordPress.com, but if you’re interested in setting up a self-hosted WordPress site, you could create a child theme to accomplish that. For specific help in making that change, check out this tutorial I found, or post in the Twenty Fifteen forum over at WordPress.org:
