Answer 1

I don't know what you mean, but if you mean the database query, it can be something like this:

SELECT username, 
       COUNT(*) AS total_post 
FROM your_table 
GROUP BY username 
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC 
LIMIT 10

Answer 2

I assume your table name posts. You can replace it by your table name.

SELECT COUNT(post) as total_post, username FROM posts GROUP BY username;

It will return something like

total_post   username 

   5         username
