At the risk of sounding stupid giving a serious answer to a joke question; I don't know the details but lemmy might not work, because the 3DS doesn't support the ciphers lemmy uses. Other sites might work, because they support older ciphers for backwards compatibility. A reason why lemmy might not want to support those is, that it could give attackers an opportunity to "hijack" your login because they can decrypt what you're sending to lemmy. If you just wanna browse lemmy anonymously tho, you should be able to do that, yes

Or, might be because blahaj (I assume) uses Let's Encrypt as the certificate provider which is rather new and might not be recognized by the 3DS. LE, unlike other certificate providers, isn't scummy and provides them for free (as they should be).

This is exactly the reason. The newer CA certs for let's encrypt were never loaded in the 3Ds because Nintendo dropped support before they were generated.

~~If I'm not mistaken there is a homebrew tool to load them~~. I lied, I can't find anything related to this.

that homebrew software sounds interesting because i remember it existing too and i also can't find it

blahaj (I assume) uses Let’s Encrypt

Correct.

Screenshot of lemmy.blahaj.zone certificate details showing it was issued by Let's Encrypt.
