Yeah general/trending is a separate thing and I agree it will help.

The surfacing problem is an interesting one, I think it fundamentally comes down to the question: Did you not like this post because you didn't like it or because you didn't see it?
After thinking about it a bit more it seems to me most solutions lead to some centralized recommendation service, but one thing that might be feasible is for a client to keep track of your likes and people with similar likes in your WoT, ie customers who bought this also bought... but for likes from your follows.
It would solve 2 problems: show something you probably like that you would have otherwise missed and the anon gained a like or maybe a follow that would have otherwise never been seen.
