I personally prefer 2♠ as North instead of raising to 3♦. Then you might arrive in 3NT easier, though I also agree that partner could have bid 3NT himself after your raise, and even a 3♥ bid is possible too by South.

3d meh u have 6 good spades and 3 crap diamonds, but i guess support with support! 5D is a lazy bid though

This time it's fair to criticize your partner's jump to 5 ♦.
Holding a minor fit, 3 NT, if biddable, should be a priority.
However, I think rebidding 2 ♠ is better with this absolutely minimum hand. Ir would lead to something like this
.
2 ♠ - 2 NT
3 ♦ - 3 ♥
3 NT
where 3 ♥ asks for a part stopper.

I wouldn't quibble too much about an initial 2S bid. Poor shape and a quack-2 isn't much of a hand.
That said, given the restraints of this auction, I would have bid 2S before even thinking about raising diamonds.

I would rebid 2S as North and just blast 3N as South over that.

Yes as Helene said: I was sitting in the opposite seat on this hand too. I just wanted to check that the forum would not have raised to 3♦ with rubbish 3 card support and instead rebid 2♠ with a good 6 card suit.

Am also a 2♠ rebidder and wouldn't not have blasted 5♦ on the actual sequence.
