My impression is it's got promise but there are a lot of issues that aren't being acknowledged.
The way the federation works on Lemmy has some serious flaws that, until they're addressed, Lemmy will never work nearly as well as reddit did at aggregating content and cultivating a shared community.
That said, it's working fairly well for what it is, it just needs to grow.
Bear in mind lemmy.world is still on lemmy version 18.5, which is lacking some nice new features.
One of the features in 19.x is an option called 'scaled' view, which gives more weight to content from smaller communities and instances, which lets you see a much broader variety of content.
(I just realized you meant aggregating as in multiple communities under one mega communitie, I assume. Personally I see the lack of that as a feature, not a bug).
