Nope, crossposted posts have a little label that indicates it, I mean users that post the same content to multiple communities (either with a script or manually) and multiple instances which ends up showing multiple times across the feed (either karmawhores or sellers), instead of posting once (to the best fitting community) and then letting that post go up or down the feed and let it federate everywhere.

Crossposting should be modified too because then the post appears twice in the feed, the original and the one marked as crosspost.
