Is there any way to set up a filter that contains ONLY entries that were NOT crossposted to livejournal?

(I am asking for a friend. Thank you in advance.)

I don't know of any easy way - I just set up custom reading filters.

I wonder if it'd be possible to detect the presence of a "crosspost link," then move upwards a level to ... not display the entry, or put it behind a forced-cut of some sort. I don't *think* it can be done with just CSS; it might have to be a full-on module implemented into a style, but I'd love to be proven wrong. The metadata-label-xpost class seems to identify posts where people show crosspost links, at least ...

Granted, this would only catch people who choose to display crosspost links on their DW posts.

I know, I wonder if the best answer is a JavaScript greasemonkey type script.

Yeah, it's probably best done on the viewer-end of things. What I've started doing for people whom I know are crossposting is removing them from my default view filter on LJ, but I don't know if you have that set up already on your end, or if that would necessarily be the best solution for your situation.

It's for a friend and what I think she's going to do is set up a custom filter here on DW that contains only people who are only posting on DW, but that seems very kludgey & failure prone.

I'd probably just set a reading filter with the friends who don't crosspost and make it really easy.
