I do not understand why so many players want to compare rating inflation/deflation between two platforms. Play,learn,enjoy... wherever.

Your rating is not a measure of your chess ability: it's a measure of how you have performed relative to the other players in the same player pool. Chess.com and lichess have different player pools and ratings aren't really comparable between both sites. You may be in the top 1% of players, but how strong are the players in that pool? What rating do people start at?

In my opionion 2200 lichess = 2000 chess. But at 2500 they are more or less the same. My peak here is 2406 and 2456 on lichess, so holding 2400 on lichess works quite well for me, but here not.

So I am playing on both sites. Does anyone else have the feeling the level in chess.com is harder ?
In lichess I am dancing around the middle 2200 blitz where in chess.com I am dancing around the mid 2000 level. Having a hard time breaking this level.
Is it just me or anyone else feels that ?
Also it could be that it balance out in the higher rating level and lower level. I have a hard time thinking a 3000 blitz lichess is much different then chess.com player. So yeah would be interesting to know what you guys think.
Thanks

On chesscom around your level there are more subtle cheaters. This is why you have problems on chesscom and not on lichessorg.
google chess rating comparisons.
One site suggests lichess averages about 400 more, which exactly matches my experience. Eg 1100 blitz is 1500 blitz on lichess.
I doubt it means anything.
I perhaps notice fewer book moves on lichess... but i don't think it impacts rating much at this level.
@onlyC6 yeah my feeling as well
