It sucks imo.

Just a horrible layout and the multiple server thing is cumbersome. I get how that's part of the appeal, but until an app comes along that streamlines it, it's just a dead in the water concept.

The thing that made reddit explod in popularity was the third party apps and the thing that killed it was the move away. Lemme makes decent third party apps difficult.

But if one server hits a critical mass with a matching app, or someone creates an app that fast switches and creates a decent list of popular parts they might do well.
