There is a strong correlation between the two. Definitely not a one-to-one correlation, but nevertheless they are closely tied together. For comparison, my USCF rating is 1700 and my online rapid rating is 2300. 1200-2400 is flatly ridiculous.

Well, if there is a strong correlation between the two as you say, then I'm 1900 FIDE and my rapid rating is lower than yours in here.

You're 1958 Classical. Probably best not to use blitz or bullet numbers unless your FIDE rating achieved playing FIDE rated blitz or bullet games.
To all the once who said something about the rapid lichess rating and Fide has a strong correlation: Fide is classical, this is rapid. This is Glicko-2 rating, that s FIDE. Everybody has a different correlation, since these are two completely different ratings. For some, the ratings are same as in FIDE, for some there is a strong correlation, for some it is only 100 points and there are even people who have a rapid rating double than their FIDE.

Yes. I agree
