Got desk rejected at TMLR with no idea why [D]

My paper cited and even built up on a niche topic that was accepted in 2024. The template and everything was also followed properly. Sure, it wasn't too novel, but it was damn rigorous, robust and reproducible.
Still, I got desk rejected within 2 days. 2 days. With no comment. I grinded my ass off for the past 5 months, but 2 days was enough to judge it I suppose.
Anyways, any recommendations on what to do next? I'm an undergrad graduating in 2 years. I wanted something good in profile for masters, I was planning another paper for next year. Should I submit again in hopes some different editors in chief? I stalked a bit in openreview and it seems I'm the only one desk rejected. Should I submit elsewhere? I'm very confused. I would've asked in email about some feedback, but I've heard people don't get an answer back usually in these cases.
Note: The paper was about LLM Self Explanations.
