Skill difference at lower ELOs?

I made the transition from chess.com to Lichess a few weeks ago. On chess.com I had ~250 games and hovered around 200 ELO. When I transitioned to Lichess, I quickly stabilized around 800 ELO, and after 98 games, I've floated between 770 and 800. There were no meaningful changes to my play when I transitioned between platforms, and it seems like the skill of my opponents hasn't changed much either.

Is there really ao little difference in skill at the lower levels of chess that 200 and 800 ELO are pretty comparable in skill?
