Can you vent an exhaust fan in a basement bathroom out the sidewall rather than the ceiling? If I vent it through the ceiling I would have to cut through 3 joists to vent my exhaust fan outside and tie it into an existing clothes dryer vent.

Yes you can mount the fan on the wall. if the wall exhausts to the outside it would be no different than a wall mount exhaust vent in the main floor bathroom. You cannot mount it on an internal wall and just dump the air into a stud bay (I have seen this tried and failed).
