Sitting South, what would your next bid be?

Indeed, 3♦ is the right bid. It shows a hand with at least 6 diamonds, quite powerful and about 7-7.5 tricks (that is about 15 points). And that is exactly what we have here.
20/20 ✅
It is sometimes possible to make a kind of false reverse with just 3 cards and a minor one-suiter, and a hand too strong for jumping to 3m. Here this is not the case. But if you replace the jack of spades by the ace, it would be possible to do so.

A diamond is missing to jump to 5♦. The best contract is perhaps 3NT. It is better to start with 3♦ without thrusting a game. Nothing will prevent you from signing off in 5♦ later.
10/20
Unlike the one before, the 2♦ bid is too pessimistic. True, it covers up to 16 points, but here we already have 7 tricks in diamonds. The hand is too strong to settle for 2♦. You could miss a game.

Bidding 2NT would show a hand of 18-19 points, which is not far from the hand with the 7 diamonds, but it promises a balanced hand, which is not the case at all here. It is therefore not possible to make this bid.

Good learning when several bids are described
3♦️, what else to describe your hand?
3 ♦️excellent sequence
3 diamonds
This was a useful exercise .
.
Yes I agree that 3 diamondsis best. However, the auction would be easier with strong club bidding system.
Years ago used strong club system. Where did it go..?
If
Yep and if N has stoppers in the other two suits then we could be looking at 3NT or with more points then 6NT.
Makes scent !
3♦️
3 diamonds
3k est insuffisant si on est courageux 1p…..
3d there is no other bid
3D
That is exactly my bid 3 diamonds
3 diamonds
3 diamonds but I am honestly thinking or hoping to get to 3nt. But not enough space to inquire about clubs and spades before 3nt after bidding 3diamonds so most likely it will be 5 diamonds as the contract.
3 diamonds hoping to get to game
I wish the robot makes never stupid bidding !
7 sure tricks in diamond + 1 heart
Ok 7,5-8… second bid is 3 diamonds but opening for me is 2 clubs
3D
3 diamond
3♦️ Baby 😉
What about 4 hearts? One less trick to make for the same score
With length you actually have 19 points. I believe 2 spades is a better bid
Great way to learn bidding.Please can we have lots more examples.
