One of the sites has vastly more features, including forums that go on for years.

Chess.com coz lichess is cheap and rely on donations, meaning they can't buy proper cheat detecting. So when one of my friends reported me as a joke because I kept winning against him, and the next day I saw my account has been closed for 'cheating'. I message them and asked them why, but they replied in a week saying they are correct and this conversation is now over. That is why I hate lichess.
Lichess tagged me as a computer user for crazyhouse games. Not sure how they came up with that one, lol. Chess.com seems a lot more friendly and interactive as a community. Lichess reminds me a lot of the ChessBase (Fritz) site. Just games without personality.
Anyways, went back and made another account, played some more crazyhouse and this time, perhaps because it wasn't in a tournament with their favourite players and TV time, I'm not sanctioned.
These days though, I find it more amusing to crack the bots on this site... imagine beating Morphy with the Danish Gambit:
There's no way the real Morphy would have made so many pawn moves in the opening. Also amusing is giving Andrea-Bot a slap around 
Chess.com's cheating team is way better here nowadays. They actually have a brain.

Chess.com is nice but it would be the best if It can offer unlimited puzzles and analysis with no membership. Lichess has inaccurate ratings but I like the fact that they are completely free. lichess does not offer nearly as much as chess.com but I wish chess.com is much cheaper or if it is going to be a million times better than the second best website for online
I agree! I still prefer chess.com because of the bots and because there more organized in my opinion.
Chess.com
To be honest any one here making fun of chess.com should go back to lichess forums!

Chess.com has better forums but I like Lichess for most of the other stuff like Lichess Studies. I can share my pgns a lot easier with Lichess than with Chess.com's Library and Saved Analysis especially when you start to have a lot of pgns
the lack of resources poison lichess, but they make the best of what they can.
the best quality of lichess is they keep plenty cheaters occupied and keep them off chess.com
chess.com have everything for every taste, no comparison possible

What are you talking about? I would say it is more common here because of how many people are here compared to lichess. Also, what exactly do you use chess.com for compared to lichess? I mainly use the chess analysis, the opening database, lichess studies, and the puzzles on lichess.
I’m just curious being that is what I do
I play on both. Prefer Lichess because it has a seperate category for longer games. To have 10/0 and 60/0 in the same pool is nonsensical. Like trying to compare a sprinter against a distance runner. You can't.

10 0 is more like the mile or the 1600. It’s fast, but not a sprint until the finish. Doesn’t alter your point, though. Distance running starts at 3200 (or two mile), but that’s still short and favors speed over the endurance events like 5K, 10K, marathon.

I’ve been playing Lichess because chess is always down.
No lag on the other site is a bonus.

I also like how the premoves on Lichess don’t waste any time which while chess.com allows a lot of premoves, I hardly ever have the need to spam more than two premoves

You’re right!
I played on chess.com yesterday evening because that is when the site traffic is down.
Had a few drinks b it played bullet because I didn’t want to risk my rapid points due to a server overload/disconnect.
I was playing Lichess earlier and the playing technique is so much
Half of my losses were due to flagging because of the lag and lack of smoothness.
chess in real life>chess online
I play on both sites and my rating is much less stable here. I turn chat off here, too many idiots, leave it on when playing on Lichess. The playing pool is stronger on Lichess, but I don't see that as a plus or minus for either site. The playing pool is larger on Chess com, but, for me, that's neither here nor there. Chess.com has better puzzles. Both sites are fun to play on, don't get why some feel the need to choose one over the other.
