Describe what you expected to happen:

fd-find should install

What version of fd are you using?

fish: Unknown command: fd

Which operating system / distribution are you on?

Darwin 23.2.0 arm64
fish: Unknown command: lsb_release

Note this appears to be a manifestation of rust-lang/cargo#8913 wherein custom build scripts fail with SIGKILL

There does not appear to be a workaround, however this is not a bug with fd. If anything, it's a bug in the documentation, but more practically it's just Apple being weird.

Any chance this comment helps? rust-lang/cargo#8913 (comment)

It didn't help, no. But thank you for finding that.

I installed fd via homebrew, which did the trick. It's just odd that I can't build it from source.

There's something tricky going on, as evidenced by the many comments there. Now there's a record in the bugtracker here so people can at least have a solution and the issue is documented.
