And to find more people, I recommend just going to the profile pages of people you already know-- you can see all their friends there.
Remember though that you have to subscribe to someone (ie you want their shit to show up your reading page) and grant them access (ie you want them to be able to see friends-locked stuff you post) separately.
I keep forgetting to actually post stuff, partly cos i have been busy, and i only get scraps of time for social media. I try to at least look at my reading page every day or so.
Yeah, what they said! You can go to a person's profile page, and click to subscribe to them (so they show up on your reading page) and/or grant them access (so they can see *your* friendslocked posts – although everyone can see posts anyway, if you don't friendslock them.)
The set-up is really, really different from Tumblr, I know... Dreamwidth lends itself to having slower and (personal opinion alert!) deeper conversations with people, rather than the constant flood of fast information that is Tumblr. It's what I like about Dreamwidth, whereas I've never been able to stomach the pace of Tumblr, but I'm sure the difference can be maddening to people who are used to Tumblr! I don't follow all that many people on Dreamwidth, so I might only have a few posts on my reading page each day (again, that's...really, really different from Tumblr, I assume?) but I feel like that allows me to actually engage with each person – when you comment on someone's post, they comment with a reply, and sometimes a whole conversation will develop.
Probably way more of an answer than you wanted, but also, feel free to ask more if you want. :-)
Oh, and definitely subscribe to communities you're interested in, and then those will show up on your reading page, too. (Perhaps sherlock_bbc or other Holmesian communities? e.g. watsons_woes, sherlock60, holmes_minor...and of course holmestice! There was also a Cabin Pressure comm back on Livejournal, but it hasn't made the leap to Dreamwidth, which I'm sad about.)
