I'm (perhaps rather selfishly, since it's where I am) glad you're on AO3, and I hope it works out for you.
Handling long freeform text tags without auto-complete is a complete pain (just try typing "Le Fantôme de l'Opéra | Phantom of the Opera & Related Fandoms" with identically-placed spacing and accents, especially given that trying to highlight and paste keeps causing the clickable link to activate instead!)
One thing about AO3 is that because of the way the tags are curated you don't have to type the full exact official tag with all the accents if it's too much work: you can type "Phantom of the Opera - Leroux" and it will behave in all practical respects as if you'd entered the full thing.
(This works more conveniently with aliases that already exist -- you can find a tag's existing aliases on the tag's landing page, under the heading "Tags with the same meaning" -- because it will start working immediately. But fundamentally you can put in the fandom name however you like and as long as it's clear which fandom you meant it will sooner or later be hooked up to the rest of the fandom.)
Now if only there were an option to search Dreamwidth tags for a combination of "fic-meta" AND "swedish", for example...

According to the Dreamwidth faq, this ought to work: https://igenlode.dreamwidth.org/tag/fic-meta,swedish?mode=and
