There's no join -- the query is
And the whole query plan is one step:
SELECT "notifications".*
FROM "notifications"
WHERE "notifications"."person_id" = ? AND
"notifications"."app_category" = ? AND
(id > ?)
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT ?
And the whole query plan is one step:
Index Scan using index_notifications_on_person_id_and_created_at on notifications (cost=0.57..212.16 rows=52 width=231)
