I lost count of forums with thee same title. Different pool of players; different starting ratings => you can't compare the ratings on the 2 sites
It is best not to think of ratings as absolute numbers, or compare them against other organisations. Different organisations have different levels of players, different rating systems (Elo, Glicko, Glicko-2, or a modified version of the aforementioned). These factors can drastically affect the absolute numbers (ratings).
It's best to think of ratings as "relative" figures (as opposed to "absolute" figures): Within a pool of players, their relative differences in ratings will help you estimate who will win/draw/lose, and how often. Saying "I have X rating" means nothing unless there are other players to compare that rating to.

Chess.com blitz are stronger for their rating in amateur ratings,but on lichess their are less beginers and we have a bunch of 1700-2200 players, so more club level players. its hard to know how much are they stronger (for elo) theire are many facrors and imbalances one is because you start their at 1200 and here you start with 1500. But here you gain/loose 5-6 points in game vs same rated opponent and on chess.com 7-8 , also different pull of players.Im 1900 blitz here and 1700 blitz on chess.com, for me its hard to cross 2000 here and 1600s on chess.com were ez, but you said you cant cross it, its weird
Their blitz might be strnger than lichess but for 1 fact indeed is that they are more stupider than us :D lol
