I thought that a long while ago Raspbian downloads had been modified to
boot up with sshd running by default but according to this:

http://www.penguintutor.com/linux/raspberrypi-headless

that tweak was later removed because security: this is probably current
information since that page was last updated this year (2021).

It explains how to re-enable starting sshd at boot time (very simple:
just create one empty file in the boot partition: since thats a FAT32
partition it can be done using a PC running either Linux or Windows.

However, the above probably doesn't help with the first Fedora boot.

So, to the OP: just grit your teeth, borrow a USB keyboard and an HDMI
screen, plug 'em in and do that first Fedora boot and make sure you
enable sshd, shut down, give the keyboard and screen back and reboot the
Pi. You should now be able to login as user 'pi' via SSH from another
Linux box or from a Windows one running PuTTY.
