On CommonYard, a friend is someone who came in through your link — or whose link you took.

## Steps

1. 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.
2. Your friend opens it and joins or takes part.
3. 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](/guides/make-a-yard/).
- You can challenge anyone on CommonYard to a game by their username — see [Play Troll War](/guides/play-troll-war/) and [Play Guess the Number](/guides/guess-the-number/).
