Has Anybody Noticed?

I've subscribed to a lot of people on my LJ flist over here so I can read them here (because they are fandom friends) instead of reading them on my LJ flist.  The set up stuff for DW says this is possible, and I was fairly certain it was working when I was just using open ID to read over here.  But since I've paid for my account, I'm not getting any of those external-to-DW people showing up on my DW reading page.  And after doing some research, I've found that yes, these people have been posting during this time period, and I have been missing out.  The thing that initially tipped me off was a comment were_duck  made about a conversation happening in the Beer and Marmalade community that I never saw.  Until then, I was just thinking everyone else's lives had gotten as busy as mine.

If I had known this wasn't actually going to work as advertised, I wouldn't have spent a whole day rearranging my reading pages on each site to contain the specific content I thought I was going to get.  Does this not actually work or am I just doing it wrong?
