what I did, was an ANALYZE, which did not change anything.

I just executed a VACUUM ANALYZE and now everything performs well. hm, strange.

Did you perform an ANALYZE or VACUUM ANALYZE?
Did you try increasing the statistic targets?

AFAIK, it looks a lot like the planner is missing stats, since it
estimates the index query on idx_nfi_newsfeed will fetch 10k rows -
instead of 25.
