Truss..Would a weight force act on all joints?

Technically, all joints will act on the uniformly distributed load. The direction of reaction will likewise depend on the direction of the uniformly distributed load. In this case where UDL is acting from top down, some of the horizontal reaction of the joints should be neglected most especially at the supports and at the horizontal bracing where the load is perpenducular to the joint.
