Is there a FOSS Linkedin alternative? (lemmy.world)

I suspect that since a quarter of my fellow co-workers got the pink slip a few weeks ago, tat I too will get one soon. I haven't updated my resume in a while and would love if there was a self hosted LinkedIn alternative or something. Anyone got any idea if that's a thing yet?

The closest thing to foss LinkedIn would be the repos, forums, and chats for open source projects. Some of them have other dedicated channels for jobs other times it's you know this person and they see you are looking for work and they tell their friends. There is not a drop in replacement for LinkedIn that is open source. The biggest value of LinkedIn is a network effect so even if it did exist not using LinkedIn would make finding a new job harder since you couldn't find opportunities that are only posted on LinkedIn.

Side note LinkedIn is gross they serve ads in your dms and notifications
