The LXD snap package checks whether you have set the EDITOR environment variable. If you have set it, it will use that text-mode text editor, otherwise it will select a default for you.
Therefore, set the variable EDITOR to nano as follows. Then, in the example (profile edit) it will open it up with nano.
$ export EDITOR=nano
$ lxc profile edit default
To make the change permanent, run the following once:
echo 'export EDITOR=nano' >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile
