1 NT is nonforcing, so pard must have extra ♠. The hand is clearly a misfit, so your best chance for a positive is to get out of the auction as soon as possible.

I'm passing.

while i might have bid 2n right from the start with your hand your
1n choice has proven to be more flexible here. Our hand has
severly limited worth in a 2s contract and with our independent
dia suit I will bid 3d. Pass is also feasible but takes a rather large
risk that p has good spades because we know we have superb dia.

Clear pass to me. You're cursed to be dealt so many diamonds. The JS will be a nice card, and pard is probably on a void in diamonds. The lack of a negative double infers something like 6-4-0-3 or 6-4-1-2 shape by pard.

We were discussing it with my friend and he thought passing is insane, I thought it's rather obvious. I guess he was temporarily unable to thing rationality (they ended up in 3N on this hand). Full hand:
