Morphology
Taswegian + community
The phrase is fully compositional: 'Taswegian' functions as a place-derived adjective/demonym referring to people from Tasmania and 'community' means a group of people, so the combined meaning 'a group of people from Tasmania' follows directly. Although 'Taswegian' is rare or unattested in some dictionaries (with 'Tasmanian' more common), the demonym + community pattern is regular and cross-linguistically transparent, so a learner who knows the constituents would infer the meaning.
Etymology
Taswegian community comes from the name Taswegian (people from Tasmania) combined with community (a group who share things). Picture neighbours meeting to tell stories and cook local food — that's why it means 'a group of people from or closely connected to Tasmania who share the same culture'.
