Try this...
SELECT ...
, f.user_id__b IS NOT NULL AS in_friends
, m.user_id IS NOT NULL AS in_group
FROM posting p
LEFT JOIN friends f ON( f.user_id__b = p.user_id__author )
LEFT JOIN memberships m ON( m.group_id = p.group_id__in )
WHERE is_published AND timestamp_publish ...
AND (
f.user_id__a = 57
OR ( m.user_id = 57 AND m.group_id IN (1,2,3) )
)
I'm not sure how fast it'll be though. I suspect your best bet is to put
the UNION approach inside a set returning function; that way the ugly is
contained in one place.
