How does username work on here? I’m new to this platform?
Discussion
I’m not an expert 😊 but your npub is unique, your username don’t
Is there a way to claim @ username ?
Kind of. You can get something called NIP-05 verification.

You may notice I have noahg@provocateach.art under my profile. I verified that I am affiliated with the domain provocateach.art by putting a special file on that website. That file says, "Hey, this public key refers to noahg." Since no one else (ideally) has access to that website, they know it's me.
If you don't want to set up your own website, nostrplebs and Iris and some others offer NIP-05 verification for free. So you'd get something like yuta@iris.to
Great, what I was trying to say is there can be a yuta@provocateach.art,
so Yuta is not unique, he will be unique on iris.to
