The Miniflux protocol is a well-designed protocol supporting a wide variety of operations on newsfeeds, folders (termed "categories"), and articles; it also allows for user administration, and native OPML importing and exporting. Architecturally it is similar to the Nextcloud News protocol, but is generally more efficient.

- Category names consisting only of whitespace are rejected along with the empty string

Tiny Tiny RSS is unique in allowing newsfeeds to be grouped into folders nested to arbitrary depth. When newsfeeds are placed into nested folders, they simply appear in the top-level folder when accessed via the Miniflux protocol. This does not affect OPML exports, where full nesting is preserved.
Nextcloud News' root folder and Tiny Tiny RSS' "Uncategorized" catgory are mapped to Miniflux's initial "All" category. This Miniflux category can be renamed, but it cannot be deleted. Attempting to do so will delete the child feeds it contains, but not the category itself.
