Yeah. That sucks big time. I have no idea how ranking works even after being here so long. I feel like you definitely should have got there but for whatever reason you did not. From what I know about it, it works with how many likes it has, how recent it was posted, comments, maybe views but kenmaz said views don't effect it, maybe followers, but it is definitely affected by how popular your posts before the post are, also there has to be rng to it, I've seen somethings that make no sense. Also I have no clue how featured works, all I know it is probably not automatic. I completely get your feeling of lost hope after working on it so long and getting so little, but now is an awful time to give up on that animation. You can still get it to ranking, hell I'm sure you can reach #1 or #2 with it. I see two paths. Fuuuucksnsbdbs character limit it cut off sooo much I have to rewrite now

Well rewriting this now, you first option is very strong if you do it right, (im shorting thus since I have to rewrite it) tdlr sort by new, comment on most post you see and comment something nice about there art, then ask them to watch your animation. Some people don't like being asked, so don't ask the same person twice to watch your animation. It may seem a bit shamefully, but it's a crime your post isn't in ranking and this will get it up there, unless it's glitched to where It cannot be there. If that's the case, go plan #2, essentially just add touchups to the animation, like touch ups to the line art or so, and Re-upload, since your animation did strongly, this should be boosted in ranking. Uh forgot what I'm going to say.
