My LED Cinema Display 27" is connected to my Mac mini M2 via a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter. Because the Mac mini has only two Thunderbolt 4 ports I'm exploring the possibility of connecting the display via the available HDMI port (which would free up a Thunderbolt port). Is this possible? Does an HDMI to Mini DisplayPort adapter exist? Thanks y'all.

I believe so. The one on the other side is by itself, and has an icon of a computer next to it, suggesting that it is for connecting the hub to your Mac.
OWC has a Thunderbolt 4 hub for $139.99. It breaks a single Thunderbolt chain into three chains. It does not have a lot of other ports, but after plugging a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter into a downstream port, you would have two left.
OWC also has a 14-port Thunderbolt 3 dock for $179.99.
Thanks. I just ordered a used one from OWC for $95. These are the "downstream" ports?
