Hello! Long time user of miniflux. Finally upgraded to v2. In my miniflux V1 OPML export, I notice that some feeds have multiple category assignments. This was previously available in the V1 UI. This OPML successfully imports into miniflux V2. However, I am unable to edit multiple category assignments, and also unable to assign new feeds to more than one category.

I feel this is a feature that should be incorporated back into miniflux as it is supported both by OPML and Fever API. This is different from #283 as there is no parent/child relationship, just single level, single feed to one or many categories. It is similar to #335, but it is not redefining the relationship between feeds and categories. This feature could also resolve #346 as categories could be selected/deselected as desired from each feed.

I appreciate your time, and thank you for many years of such a wonderful open source project.

Hi, This is a feature that I personally need and will be implementing on my own fork over the next month or so. I'm happy to coordinate with anyone else who's interested in this and try to get it into the codebase if the maintainer greenlights including it.

Sorry, I'm not planning to change this because that requires the schema to be changed.

Not providing full support for the OMPL spec is pretty disappointing, but I understand your decision. At the very least the documentation should note the lack of support for multiple categories in OPML. Specifically, the OMPL Import section should note that even if a user's OMPL has multiple categories assigned to a feed, this will not be represented or editable in the miniflux UI and note which category will 'win' placement (it's been awhile, but I think it was alphabetical "Blog" would 'win' over "News").

I can also PR this on the website repo, if you'd like.

You could try to send a PR. I'm not against this feature. I'm just concerned about the number of changes required.

This is currently a blocker for me migrating to Miniflux as almost every feed as multiple categories (up to 8 for a single feed) in order to organize my several thousand feeds in a digestable manner.

@awesomizer did you try implementing this feature?

@darkdragon-001 I did implement it, but in the context of changing much about the app as it exists in this repo, so no benefit to anyone besides myself.
