So it's just an UI problem, right? Do we need a better UI/UX? Why not just "copy" an already proven UI like X's? I've tried several Nostr clients, they although similar to X's interface, are still very different, and none fully satisfy me.

Damus and Primal are similar in UI and UX, do function well now, and have unique features that can't be found elsewhere. I'd like to believe it's just a matter of people trying these apps out again and seeing how much they have improved over the last two years.
Primal for example, should really hit home how powerful it can be to fully control and setup your various feeds from the marketplace. In app breadcrumbs should walk users through all of this for the very first time.
Damus should change their hashtag suggestions around to make Nostr look like it's dead and no one is using it, perhaps focus on content discovery and user discovery more.
I think all apps need to handle posting images and videos better.
What about deleting/editing notes? Many social media users would like to delete or edit their notes. Or even have the ability to "delete an account". Are they discouraged by the fact that they will probably never be able to edit or delete what they have posted on Nostr? While some relays have the ability to delete and edit notes, there is still no such functionality in the Primal interface, for example.
Some clients allow for editing and deletions but others view this as an attack vector. It's a complicated subject.
Key management needs to be easier for non-bitcoin nerds. NIP7 is a good start, but few clients use it.
