If I were you I would switch between chess.com and Lichess every few months or so also if you really want to gain rating you should probably work on openings and some tactical ideas.

But i suck (there)
Bro, Chess.com is trash. I mean, paying a subscription to solve puzzles and access game analysis when you can get both for free on Lichess? And millions of people fell for it! Plus, they’re well known for shaming Russian players. We’re chess players — we don’t care about politics, but Chess.com’s owners are clearly left-wing liberals

If you close your chess.com account, the games and ratings will remain there to be seen, there will just appear a cross mark (the user has closed their own account) next to your user name.

Perhaps you keep spelling it incorrectly.

lol
All I know is that when one clicks ruby slippers together, it is to Lichess that one comes nowadays, not Kansas.
Lichess seems even more wholesome and wonderful than Kansas.
And Lichess has even more horseys!
I dont know if anyone has mentioned this, but there is a known ratings gap between Chessdotcom and Lichess of about 150-200 points (on average):
so someone whos 1200 on Chessdotcom can be expected to be around 1400 on Lichess.
it does not mean either site is better bcuz at higher levels the ratings and player strengths get evened out!
A chess rating is like currency for different countries. The numbers might not match, but your buying power remains the same.
