I thought you used nac or naddo when using "no" as an interjection, and (d)dim was more like "do not" (Dw i ddim yn hoffi...="I do not like...")?
Just learn this one as an idiom without trying to break it down - dim diolch = no thanks. Word for word translations between Welsh and English are sometimes not very useful.
The mutated form ddim is used as a negative adverb ('not') with negative verbs - for example, rwyt ti (you are); dwyt ti ddim (you are not).
