Is there an alternative to the arXiv for uploading mathematical papers?

Here is the story. Upon attempting to upload a modified version of a published paper to the arXiv, it was put "on hold" and, a few days later (today), I was notified that "Our moderators determined that your submission does not contain sufficient original or substantive scholarly research and is not of interest to arXiv."

The same message was given when I attempted to upload an earlier version of the paper months ago. Back then, I didn't agree with the statement, but I assumed that the arXiv made the decision because my result was standalone. More recently, post-publication, I was able to tweak the result to resolve several conjectures that were predicted and have been open on the OEIS for around five years (I would rather not get into details here, but you might be able to figure out what I am talking about if you look at my recent post history). The new document that I tried to upload to the arXiv contains the proofs.

The insult in the quote above aside, the statement that the results are unoriginal or lacking substance is incorrect. The question my paper addresses has been called "natural" by reviewers who also verified their correctness, and I have not seen resolutions of these conjectures anywhere else. Not to mention, the arXiv contains worse. I can only conclude that the misguided arXiv moderators are intent on harassment for whatever reason.

Is there an alternative to the arXiv for posting mathematical papers? It presumably won't be as popular of a platform and so people who might have otherwise found the results interesting will likely not see it, but I don't see much of a choice.
