Finally reached 1800 in Rapid!

After 3-4 years of playing in lichess I have finally managed to reach 1800 in Rapid, not sure if any further improvement is possible. But I am quite happy of my achievement 😊
Good job man, keep going, anyone can improve!
Nice work! You can be even better, even if it takes several years.
@ChesspatzerBAN Congratulations! It's a good achievement.
@Turkeyeng It's true. If you have a low RD but you've learned a lot of new material, it's hard to overcome a low rating. It can be done, but it takes a long time. I spent a year on chess.com tactics, doing 5 puzzles per day, and my rating went from 779 to 1400 or so. But I don't know if puzzles are weighted differently than games. If it's a real problem for you, maybe you could create a new account to "reset" your RD and re-evaluate your current playing strength? A simple reset button in your stats would be a great feature to add to LiChess just for this reason.
I agree with the others about rating deviation, still, with a lot a of grinding you should be able to reach higher rating.
