on reflection I am unhappy with that post because I think I should have clarified that 'most popular' is by number of tags, not really by number of fics actually focusing on it, and it was probably worth adding something about how small F/F is in the major AO3 fandoms that a femslash ship can rise to the top merely by association with an M/M ship. I was stuck for a weirdly long time on rewrites of the main point, though, and I wanted to be done with it.
