    How do usernames work? Can the same username be claimed multiple times (via registering on multiple instances)?

          You can have a display name different from your username (just learning all this myself). Then you can use the same account across instances with different display names or vice-versa.

          Love the usenet-ish federation. Now if only we had federated killfiles linked to our accounts. It’d be cool to raise/lower scores privately to bubble things up you care about and kill what you don’t.
