I requested a game I had just made and didn't expect it to get accepted because it was trivial, but I have seen games on the site that aren't that popular, like I thought it might, it was rejected for 'not accepting trivial or short games' Just out of curiosity, how much interest does a game have to have surrounding it to not be deemed trivial? I assume it wasn't because it was short, my run was 54 seconds, and I have seen runs for games shorter than this on the site.

Games that can be finished in such a short amount of time are generally rejected on the site nowadays. There’s no hard threshold on how long a run has to be to get accepted as far as I know, but it sounds like your game definitely falls under the “short/trivial” rejection reason if it can be completed in under a minute.
As for games with shorter runs, those games were probably added before the site started getting more strict with what games they accept. The site doesn’t retroactively remove any LBs that previously existed, they just get stricter with new boards and games.
(Of course I’m not site staff so I won’t put words in their mouth, but given the information you provided, that’s my take on your rejection reason).
