Buffy and Xena are definitely the top fandoms I can think of in terms of femslash (and I'm not into either as a fandom).
As for my hazy reply (that isn't too long). Just from the corner of femslash fandom I've been in, it does exist, but it centers more around a "You're not alone in liking/writing f/f pairings" camaraderie and pointing out canons that are particularly good at f/f fodder versus reading/commenting/reccing fic. There's also a lot fewer people who are exclusively into f/f as opposed to either liking every type of pairing, or liking slash pairings (m/m and f/f) in general, or liking pairings with at least one woman in them (m/f and f/f).
But that's based more on impressions than evidence.
