Social media sites are designed for continuous scrolling and very short chunks of content. Plus they're monetized, so they can afford to pay employees, not just basic equipment and server costs (plus legal costs).

Fanfiction sites have to be searchable and have an organized and logical navigation system. We joke about tumblr's terrible search, but how easy is it to find a Tweet or Instagram post or Facebook post about a specific thing, or find your way back to one you didn't bookmark? Social media sites have it easy in that regard.

Even different fanfic sites have different levels of effectiveness in helping you find the ships or fics you're looking for. It's hard to set up before you even have fics to categorize, and it's vital to the success of the fanfic site.

AO3 invented a taggjng system as an additional user-defined layer on top of pre-chosen caregories like fandom, characters and genre. Compare it to fanfiction.net or mediaminer.org or whofic.com for what was typical before that, and note that while Whofic and Fanfic.net let you search for two characters,

AO3 came up with a way to tag for ships. A big part of why it works is hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours behind the scenes "tag wrangling" by hand to figure out variant ways authors have tagged or named the same ships, fandoms, and characters, ensuring they all get grouped together. It's almost like a hybrid between a fic archive and wikipedia in that regard, except no one except the authors can edit the articles; the moderators can only edit "disambiguation" tags pointing to them.

No other fic archive does that because it is HUGE GOBS OF WORK. And it takes really streamlined coding to make it run efficiently. It was built by a bunch of frustrated librarians based on all the inadequacies of THEIR universities' library card catalogs, and library scientists and archivists now study its backend.

in short, to built a fanfic archive, AO3 has raised our expectations such that a new site probably needs a good team of professional volunteers with coding skills, library and/or archival skills, and an understanding of fandom culture and fanfic. Or else they need to be able to hire people to set it up, like Wattpad did.
