Google (or other search engines) aren't really the best
tools to find good documentation for recently changed
commands (IMO).  It's clearly giving you useless, outdated
information here.

No, that is not correct.

As Barry suggested, check the dnf documentation, online¹,
the dnf-config-manager(8) man page, or dnf --help, dnf
config-manager --help, dnf config-manager addrepo --help,
etc.

Any of those should quickly lead you to the proper syntax:

    dnf config-manager addrepo 
--from-repofile=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:im:signal/Fedora_Rawhide/network:im:signal.repo

I don't know if the installed signal-desktop works or not,
but that's not really relevant here.  IF it doesn't work
after installing, that's something to take up with the
third-party repo provider. :)
