Rating Correlation

Hi I was wondering about the general trend of rating correlation on lichess.org compared to Fide/USCF ratings.
I know that the general trend is from what I've heard is that lichess ratings are inflated around 300 pts over USCF.
I know its very hard to generalize and say on a case per case basis how much one's rating would be in over the board tournaments (by the way I am not trying to find out mine , I am around 1550 USCF rated but that's not the point.
Is there any kind of accurate studies done to compare the general tendency of lichess ratings to fide/uscf or chess.com ratings ?
By the way I am aware there could be very significant animalities in the lichess ratings but surely if a large sample of data was taken there would be some kind of general tendencies demonstrated.
I've only found this shady website here : https://chessgoals.com/rating-comparison/ which draws a bit of skepticism in their analysis.
Can folks around the rating of say 1700-1800 rapid share their fide or USCF rating if possible ?
Thanks.

varies quite a bit from person to person, region to region.
online chess and OTB require completely different skills, other than actual chess skill. almost comparing regular apples to pineapples. sure they both have "apple" in their name, but that's about it.

Umm my FIDE rating is 0.
Yes well my request was pertaining to folks who were active in fide or uscf tournaments with an established rating (as though that needs to be even mentioned)..

this has been discussed ad nauseam. Little searching of forum would give 100rds of opinions

One thos with scattergram of verified fide rating vs various lichess ratings. Threre is correlation and as expected it highest on blitz but not much.
