Do you feel that Classical on lichess is too slow, but Blitz and Rapid are too fast?

I don't think that because it's the always the opponent who gives the rhythm of the game of fast and slow

> Don't play fide classical on lichess. A lot of people aren't serious and there are stallers. In lichess something like 75+30 is the max without getting too long. Around 30+0 is the classical norm (which I am not sure but might be rapid in fide). Here's a rough idea:

> Fide Classical: Not recommended on lichess
> Fide Rapid: Lichess Classical
> Fide Blitz: Lichess Rapid
> Lichess Blitz: Fide Blitz
> Lichess Bullet: Doesn't exist in Fide.

I am not saying not to play classical here. It is by far the best time control imho. I am saying to not play FIDE classical which is more than 90+10. Lichess classical is ok. I don't play 120+30 games here lol. Those are meant for otb. Play fide classical on fide And Lichess classical on lichess.
The only place online you should be playing 90 min + games is somewhere like Tornelo. With real world implications and arbiters signed in to make sure everything is going smoothly. Other than that the casual nature of Lichess makes it difficult to find a random person to play for so long. A league is probably your best bet.
