Reactions are well-known features of many social networks. They are just a way to express a feeling generated by a post. Note this is a complementary behavior to voting on a post.
This is a screenshot of how they look:
The process of reacting to a post is as simple as clicking on a reaction. Users can change their minds and select a different reaction or just remove it.
Reactions can also be displayed in a more compact form:
