Rating Differences between two providers

Sort:
WestofHollywood

When I play 3/0 on Lichess I can usually hold an 1800+ rating fairly easily and have even broke 2000 once (but rapidly fell down to 1800-1900. I returned to Chess.com yesterday and played untitled Tuesday and some other 3/0 games after it and this morning. I've lost many games against 1400s(they seem to be playing at a lichess level of 1800-1900) and am actually in jeopardy of falling below 1400. Is there that much difference is the ratings between Li and Chess.com? I concede it could very well be me!

Lichess states at a higher rating and almost all members there are 200-300 points higher rated there than here due to that. The ratings are not going to be the same.
