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.
