What do i plug in the Thunderbolt port. Other than displays. I want to plug HDD docking stations. Will any type of USB-C do? Apple mini A2686.

Yes. Thunderbolt 3/4 ports on Mac Mini include the USB-C spec, so support any USB-C devices including docks and hard drives.
Any USB-C dock or hard drive will work fine.
Thunderbolt rated docks and hard drives will work better and faster though.
Those ports double as both Thunderbolt and USB-C ports.
Yea' the quick start guide is not very helpful.

Thanks for the answer.
