I have, and this post came through fine, so the most likely explanation is that none of the people you're following has posted. A less likely possibility is that you tried to set up a default reading filter and got something wrong.
The big difference between friending on LJ and whatever-you-call-it on DW is that DW separates granting access from subscribing to someone else's journal.
In our case, we have mutual subscriptions -- both of us have subscribed to each other's DW -- but while I have granted access to you, you have not done the same to me, which means you can read my public and my private posts, but I can only read your public ones.
