I am on 14.04 and just installed Diodon via 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diodon-team/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install diodon unity-scope-diodon

and restarted but when I CTRL+C copy some text, nothing gets saved into the Diodon clipboard history. Why is this happening?

Reset to default

Diodon 1.1.0 uses Zeitgeist as storage so when Zeitgeist is disabled nothing will be added to the history.

If you want to disable Zeitgeist but still want Diodon to add items you can go to "Security & Privacy" -> "Files & Applications" settings and simply disable all include possibilities but leave Documents activated. See screenshot.

Allow Diodon to store clipboard items
