Thank you, Rodrigo

sudo dnf provides nslookup

Then install the resulting package.

If all you want to do is find out the IP address of a hostname, you can also use the getent command. It comes with the glibc-common package which is installed on all systems by default, so it should always be available.
Usage example:

[user@host ~]$ getent hosts discussion.fedoraproject.org
2001:470:1:791::15 askfedora.hosted-by-discourse.com discussion.fedoraproject.org

[user@host ~]$ getent ahostsv4 discussion.fedoraproject.org
72.52.80.15     STREAM askfedora.hosted-by-discourse.com
72.52.80.15     DGRAM
72.52.80.15     RAW

[user@host ~]$ nslookup discussion.fedoraproject.org
Server:		127.0.0.53
Address:	127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
discussion.fedoraproject.org	canonical name = askfedora.hosted-by-discourse.com.
Name:	askfedora.hosted-by-discourse.com
Address: 72.52.80.15
Name:	askfedora.hosted-by-discourse.com
Address: 2001:470:1:791::15

Also check out the dig and host commands provided by the bind-utils package along with nslookup.

An alternative way:

sudo systemctl --now enable systemd-resolved.service
resolvectl query example.org
