Did you ever find out what the acronym means?

Poop

Its really stange seeing kanidm basically never mentioned in these types of threads

I think the no-nonsense, minimal hype and visual contribute to that. Also, the name didn’t automatically conjure “authentication” like authentik/authelia/pocket-id does, so maybe people just gloss over it.

I’ll probably tried this over now that I’m aware. Thanks for sharing.
