Bring your friends in
Share a yard, a post or a challenge. Whoever comes in through your link becomes one of Your people.
On CommonYard, a friend is someone who came in through your link — or whose link you took.
Steps
- Share a link from CommonYard: a yard’s link, a post (tap the paper plane on it), a game challenge, or the challenge CommonYard offers after you vote in a poll or finish a swipey.
- Your friend opens it and joins or takes part.
- They appear under Your people on your profile, and you appear under theirs.
What friends see
When a friend takes part in something, you may see a line such as “Kofi voted” or “Kofi and Abena signed”. It says that they took part — never what they chose.
Good to know
- A yard’s link works as an invitation: whoever joins through it counts as someone you brought in. See Make a yard.
- You can challenge anyone on CommonYard to a game by their username — see Play Troll War and Play Guess the Number.
