Honestly, to me that's more friendship than community. Community is when they'd like you to show up and are happy when you do. Friendship is when they want you to show up, and are unhappy when you don't.
One of my definitional rules of thumb is that a community is a group large enough to contain two people who hate each other's guts. So I'd go more with "notice when you show up" as opposed to "give a shit" or "like you to show up". And that noticing is collective, not individual; not everyone has to notice if you show up or not, just a chunk of people.
