It seems unnecessary duplication of effort to repeat everything on different platforms. I'd rather get people to use Lemmy by not having Lemmy seem dead.
Lemmy is a place to follow and discuss ideas. Bluesky is a place to follow and discuss people (and their ideas). I'm not into celebrity culture, but there are folks I'm interested in following. People share more of their experiences and writings, so I follow other developers who might say something interesting or teach me a new perspective.
I prefer Lemmy, but I have run for Bluesky because neither has an algorithm or notification counters to try to Skinner box me into starting online and engaged all the time. I do drive bys, scanning for rounds that interest me and dropping a joke or hot take or the occasional sincere comment. Then I move on and do something else for 2-20 hours.
Well the problem with Lemmy is that it doesn't have clamfacts, so you need mastodon too.
