Have you ever thought about using animated PNG for your animations?
Your animated works are quite high fidelity, but GIF's 256-color limit isn't exactly ideal for retaining visual quality, so using animated PNG would be an easy way around that.

I didn't know that was possible, but that would be better.
do you still submit them to the same animation category?

Oh uh, unfortunately I think DA only lets you submit known-animated formats like GIF to the "animation" category...
Thing is, DA's backend system basically doesn't know that animated PNG (or "APNG") is a thing and therefore will treat it the same way as a static non-animated PNG.
Normally this has the unfortunate side-effect that any APNG with a resolution larger than 900px will have non-animated preview images and the like (thereby requiring the user to either click "download" or zoom the image to full-size for it to actually animate), but as far as I know none of your animations are greater than 900px so you shouldn't run into this inconvenience.
I previously made a couple APNGs while testing and demonstrating this behavior which you can find here:

I don't know. I couldn't get it to work from photoshop as a png. gifs are ok.

But GIFs make me cry. 
Photoshop doesn't natively support animated PNGs (which is funny considering that Apple uses the format for iMessage stickers), so you would have to export individual frames to individual images (I think Photoshop can do this automatically?) and then put them into a different program that can actually assemble APNGs (such as "APNG Assembler").

I'll keep my eyes open for developments. I remember waiting years and years so I could use a png on websites instead of gifs and it finally came true.

It could still be a while seeing as the format as a whole is actually over 10 years old...though Apple didn't support it until 2 years ago and Chrome not until last year.
(and as the format is a Mozilla creation, Firefox as well as its multiple forks and derivatives have supported APNG since the format's inception)
Now I don't mean to be pushy, but I personally don't use Photoshop so I need your enlightenment here, but is it actually not all that easy to export a WIP animation to individual PNG frames?

I don't know. I don't do wip animations whatever that is. I'll see moving forward if adobe makes a reasonable way to do it nativly.

WIP just means "work in progress", I was just using the term to refer to animations that have not actually been assembled/exported into an animated image file.
As for Adobe introducing native support, I wouldn't hold your breath as a good amount of people nowadays have moved straight from GIF to video formats like MP4/WebM (and yet will sometimes still call them "GIF"), but DeviantArt does not support such formats, so...
...well actually, DA does let you upload an MP4 video files (and maybe WebM? No idea) to Sta.sh, and they'll play back in your browser without issue as long as it uses the h.264 / AVC codec (for MP4 that is).
