I don't know about Lichess, but chess.com changed their distribution. Rapid average was around 1100 just a few years ago. Now it is 614. This has caused many players who have been on the site a long time to have their ratings drop along with the average
Comparing percentile ratings between sites
Sort:
lichess has much stronger players
#3 Lichess does not have players from the FIDE top ~50, while Chess.com does. You consider that strong? Btw lichess is trash
What does it matter if Lichess doesn't have players in the top 50 FIDE ranking? Like we are gonna play against them?

My blitz rating puts me nearly 87th percentile at 1150 plus or minus.
I see discussions on rating numbers but not percentiles. Which site has the stronger typical player? Seems percentile rankings are a better comparison.
1150ish here would by percentile rating be over 2000 at lichesd.
