Mastodon also has explore tabs that show you popular posts. The problem is mostly that there aren't people who are popular on Mastodon, not that they are being hidden.

I'm sure if you look at George Takei's first posts on Mastodon you'll also see hundreds of likes. People followed Philips O'Brien over from twitter precisely because he made a credible promise to leave and invest.
