snap install hello-world
works flawlessly, but when i try to install latest lxd i receive this errors:
Apr 22 20:49:13 fallback-os systemd[1]: Listening on Socket unix for snap application lxd.daemon.

However if i choose another version of lxd, say 3.0 and try to install it, then install succeeds:

Previously i had no problems with version 4.0.0 (14503), but when i tried to update it i received the same error listed here.
I thought that snap is broken so reinstalled it.
I have deleted all snapd folders, like tutorials shows.
And made a clean install of snapd from git via yay.
Is this Arch? Can you run ldd /usr/lib/snapd/snapctl and post the output?
Also, where does the package come from?
I suspect you’re using snapd-git from AUR, which you shouldn’t really, snapd is what closely tracks the releases. I’ve pushed some updates to snapd-git which were missing and could potentially have caused an issue that you saw.
Still I strongly suggest you use snapd package instead. Word of warning, when switching from snapd-git to snapd, the packages are marked as conflicting, so pacman will remove snapd-git along with all the data from snaps.
You are right, i’ve used snapd-git, but with the thought that it closely tracks latest releases instead.
Arch wiki doesn’t answer on this question, but snapd-git aur page has comment with recommendation to use snapd:

@rodneyck snapd-git builds directly from master, so there can be an occasional hiccup, once https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/7809 lands, things should be back to normal.
I’d recommend installing snapd for regular use.
Ok, thank you. I’ll then move to snapd and post an update how it went.
AFAK *-git are usually built directly from git repos of respective upstreams. I’ve pinned a comment under snapd-git mentioning that snapd should be used instead and dropped snapd-git from the archwiki page.
@mborzecki thank you for your support, after moving to snapd everything is working.
