# Reactions Extension
The Reactions Extension allows users to express their reactions ("react") to posts with emojis. {{ className: 'lead' }}
## Federation
User reactions are (like every other entity) federated to all followers, and can be displayed to clients depending on the privacy settings of the associated [Note](/entities/note).
## Entity Definition
Must be `pub.versia:reactions/Reaction`.
URI of the [User](/entities/user) that is reacting.
URI of the [Note](/entities/note) attached to the reaction.
Emoji content of reaction. May also be arbitrary text, or [Custom Emoji](/extensions/custom-emojis) if supported.
Clients are encouraged to disfavour text in favour of emoji where possible.
