It's (mostly) not inherently better, it's mostly a maturity issue. The current version of the fediverse has been around since 2017.
My preferred fediverse UI will be coming to nostr eventually via Alex Gleason (nprofile…qdcn) although I think there's a primal-style intermediate server involved.
Most of the more "inherent" problems are solved by some kind of intermediate caching server (local relay might address this). I really don't like the way most clients seem to fetch everything and keep very little state, notes end up loading slowly, out of order and popping in.
markdown notes are great on fedi, I hope they will also come to nostr (there are already markdown kinds, but I'm not sure if there are any markdown "note" kinds)
discoverability is just awful on nostr, feels like I'm shouting into the void here, I'm shadowbanned on twitter and have better reach, and far better than either on fedi.
the instance model in the fediverse has some nice benefits in community, discoverability, moderation, but there's downsides too, obviously.
silly thing, but the fediverse's custom emojis create fun for people (and fun matters).
That doesn't add up to a million x but I hope you'll forgive the hyperbole lol
I think I'm bullish on nostr long term but things are still rough imho
