I have some satoshi in my blockchain wallet. I was wondering how to claim the equivalent amount of coins because of all the Bitcoin hardfork like Bitcoin Diamond, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin United, etc.

Thanks in advance.

The steps are the following:
1. Move your coins to a new address.
2. Find a wallet of the forked coin (usually the one proposed by the developers of the forked coin)
3. Insert to this wallet the private keys (you had from the pre forked coin)
4. Spend your coins

Before you do anything it would be better to read this forum for more informations and learn what replay protection means.

That depends whether you were holding some bitcoins on your blockchain wallet before the fork and if blockchain supports the fork. If you did have some on your wallet before the fork and blockchain also supported the fork, I think they will give you instructions on how to claim the forked coins. Otherwise, you don't get to have them.

When claiming hard fork coins, GOOGLE is going to be your best friend. There is a vast array of resources available online and you will always find a guide on how to claim your coins. I've even done some googling for you and heres a video nontheless for claiming your bitcoin diamond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i5lUkppccI

Just do the same and even search youtube for the other coins you'd like to claim.

I don't think you will get to claim because in order to claim you have to hold your private keys and if you used blockchain.info to hold your funds you likely do not have your private keys (not sure I have never used them). Alternatively look for statements made by them discussing how they will handle the forks because all big websites have offered a reasoning and a timeline for coin distribution. For instance because of my friend who has funds on Coinbase they are going to get Bitcoin Cash in January I believe and that is transparent as can be.
