Is 1000 a good rating?

You can't really compare Lichess ratings to chess.com ratings. It's like comparing apples to snails.

I believe 1000 is above average on chess.com, no idea if that is the case for other sites though

No. It's rubbish. 1k to 1.5 is beginner. 1.5k to 2K is strong club player. 2 to 2.5K you are interesting. 2.5k upwards you are a monstrosity.....

It is easier to have a higher rating on some sites and harder on others

If 1000-1500 is a beginner, what is <1000?

Lichess ratings are inflated. A “good” rating is subjective. I’d say anything 200 or more above mine is good. 1000 on Lichess isn’t… the best. For reference, I am in the 1600s here and 1900-2000 on Lichess. Inflated.

800 chess.com rating means;

you know how to move pieces still sometimes trying to make an illegal move

occasionally these players open up strange forum threads and discuss about why their match was drawn in a stalemate position or what the hell enpassant is.

The average rating on Lichess is close to 1500. The average rating here on chess.com is close to 1100. So if we assume that average players are about the same strength on both sites, then at that level Lichess ratings are inflated by about 400 points.

The problem is that this difference is not constant across different rating bands. 1000-strength players would be inflated by a different amount, and 2000-strength players by a still different amount.

The average rating on chess.com is more like 800:

It's 1033 in Daily.

Oh ok

To be more specific, this is how the chess.com rating system basically works with estimates for years of experience based on someone who spends around 4 hours a week studying chess(my opinion):

100-700: new to chess/absolute novice ~1 month experience 

700-1000: beginner ~3-6 months experience 

1000-1200: hobbyist ~9-15 months experience 

1200-1400 weak intermediate, class “D” level player ~1-2 years experience 

1400-1600 strong intermediate, class “C” level player, ~3-4 years experience 

1600-1800: advanced, class “B” level player, ~5-6 years experience

1800-2000: very advanced to expert, class “A” player, ~ 7-8 years experience 

2000-2100: expert level, ~10 years experience 

2100-2200: Candidate Master(CM), ~ 11 years experience 

2200-2400 National Masters and Fide Masters, ~12-14 years experience 

2400-2500 International Master (IM), ~15 years experience 

2500-2650 Grandmaster, ~ 17-20 years experience 

2650-2700 Very strong GM, ~20-25 years experience 

2700+ Super GM, ~25+ years experience 

hope this helps

National Masters, FIDE Masters, and Emus.

Also chess.com ratings do not make you a titled player and your classical rating is different from fide rating just a disclaimer
