Couldn't find a speedcubing community, so created one. Welcome anyone with any interest in twisty puzzles or speedcubing.

Any ideas for what this community should be are welcome!

Come here and introduce yourself! When did you start cubing? What's your favorite cubing-related resources? What's your favorite twisty puzzle?

Hello cubers of the world!

Exited to join you :) I'd like to talk about this passion, learn more and share about it.
I consider myself as a slow cuber :) I turn slowly and learn slowly, but it's fine. I enjoy every solve!
I only do 3x3 with CFOP method 4-look LL (learning full PLL…). I began to take an interest in Roux… which sounds incredible.
Maybe I'll start 4x4 again, but with the Yau method.

See you soon.
(sorry for my english)

I began to take an interest in Roux… which sounds incredible.

Nice! (it is incredible 😉)

I think that cubing is such a great hobby: with 3x3x3 you have several methods to discover (cfop, roux, zz, petrus, heise…), several events (classic, one hand, (multi)blind, fmc). You can find something that suit you: good at learning algs? you can try zz. you suck at tps? roux can be pretty fast. You’re in for the "mathematical" challenge ? petrus/heise or fmc it is.

Then you start 4x4x4, 2x2x2, 7x7x7 to make some fun patterns, 3x3x3 shape-mods, skewb, square-one, non-wca. It’s a bottomless pit, such an interesting bottomless pit…

I agree. There is a lot of choices and infinite things to learn.

I think that it should be a place for all people, cubers and noncubers, to share their thoughts, memes, and ask for help in any thing cubing related.

[-] thisisdee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Good point, non-cubers are also welcome here! Thank you

[-] 0MultifandomMess0@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you! You seem very nice.

So do you, fellow.

Hello!

I bought my first rubik's cube with magnets three days ago and I totally understand how this can become such an obsession for people, I knew there had to be a lemmy community!

I learned the roux method (at least a simplified version), and I hope to achieve a solve under a minute eventually. Currently I need a minute only for block building lol

[-] thisisdee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Welcome! Which cube did you get?

[-] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

The first one I found in the shop honestly. It says YongJun on the white center in Mandarin, but I can't tell you much more than that.

[-] annorax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Hello @AccountMaker@slrpnk.net

You switch from CFOP to Roux method or you start learning with Roux?
If yes, what made you choose Roux? I'm curious.

[-] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

Well I learned the beginner solution at first and then learned about the existence of methods like CFOP, Roux, ZZ and the rest. I looked at CFOP first, but I'm really really slow with F2L, and all the algorithms and cases you have to learn look really daunting. Then I found a beginner tutorial for Roux and idk, I like the feel of it and you don't need that many algorithms to get started. Block building gives you a lot of options, for the corners you can make do with sune and jperm (or just memorize 7 OLL cases with the cross), and the rest is pretty straightforward.

Also spinning those Ms gives me my daily dose of seratonin.

Interesting. I have already done a few solves with Roux and I understand what you feel. I find this method more intuitive and easier to grasp.

What's your CFOP best time when you started to learn?

[-] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

I never completed a CFOP solve, I just got to F2L and then looked at Roux and it seemed more attractive. I need around 2:30 with the beginner's method, and with Roux it varies a lot on how my block building goes, but my fastest was a very lucky 1:36.

Thank you for your feedback.
Have fun :)

[-] KammicRelief@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I too came from the cubers subreddit. It's nice to have a place to ask people "what's the best 4x4" or "how do I get over this F2L problem I'm having". Thanks for starting the community!

I came here from the cubers subreddit. I wonder if we could carry over all that made that subreddit great? The wiki, the weekly comps etc.

[-] thisisdee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Wiki is definitely something we should build moving forward. Not sure if we want to just copy paste from there though

As for the weekly comps, I think it’s run by specific redditors?
