A quick duck search pointed me at https://toolsweek.com/how-to-test-a-diode-with-a-multimeter/ . It's been a long time since I needed to test diodes, but the instructions seem to match what I've done before.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Hey of course. So the diode is fine, it's just not making proper connection! Thanks!
I got the diode replaced and the connection is good, now my q key works perfectly!
Thanks for that article link, thats exactly the way I remember it aswell
