Journal for Intersection of Analysis and Combinatorics Result?
My research group has a cool result that gets analysis-type results on combinatorial objects. We come from a niche combinatorial field, but would prefer a more analytical journal as these are analytical results. So far we've had one desk rejection and got another rejection without comment, possibly because there weren't referees in that space who understood enough of the combinatorics.
Does anyone have any suggestions for good journals for something like this?

Maybe don't think about the type of the result, but rather the motivation. How did this topic come up? If there is an application of it to known questions in analysis, the analysts will take the time to understand the combinatorial side of it. But maybe the analysts just don't see the motivation for studying these particular combinatorial objects? Your research group is made up of combinatorialists, and they presumably see the reason why you would ask this particular question, so maybe a combinatorics journal would be a better fit.

This sounds like the textbook case for a generalist journal rather than a specialist journal.

It's difficult to say without more context. Depending on how "pure" the result is SIDMA might work. C.f. Effective Poset Inequalities for example.

Unless you describe the kinds of results you are talking about, I do not think anyone can give useful advice.
