    Hey there.

    ~40yo, twisty puzzles lover, I use Roux as my main method. I’ve learned to solve the cube back in 2000. I’m still not very fast (sub-25 ao500).

    If you come from Reddit, you may know me from the DDT doing reconstructions on the daily scramble.

    I’ve got about 30 differents “cubes”, including 2×3×4, rex, bermuda (jupiter), puppet v2, crazy octahedron (mars), curvy copter, axis timewheel…

    I’d love to see a discussion thread on lemmy too (not daily obviously).

    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 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.

    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.
