As long as you're having fun playing the game, you're good enough to have fun. "Good" isn't an ojective thing, so giving a lichess rating threshold for being good is meaningless.
Really, every human is terrible. It's just that some are merely terrible, some are absolutely terrible, some are absolutely disgustingly terrible, some are horribly disgustingly atrociously terrible... and that's just the titled players!
