"What would you like to do online?" How can we distinguish between do and would? I'm not sure if I should report this kind of an answer. Thanks!
喜欢 ia used mostly to express what you enjoy doing in general (not necessarily at the given moment tho), 想 in this context describes what you want to do now (or in the situation being discussed). Examples: 我喜欢喝茶。I like tea. / 我想喝茶。I want to drink tea.
要 yào is a much stronger version of 想 xiǎng, which is more wispy. Similar to the difference between "I'd like to" and "I want to". 要 can also mean "I'm going to" based on context.
People with the most important questions are always "sorry" about them
Why ?!
Don't be ! Be confident you're not asking silly questions or pedantic ones or even nagging
I disagree. They are being humble and yet curious. The perfect attitude for learning. At least for learning Chinese if you ask me.

IMHO Duo has done it correctly.
In my understanding,
"What would you like to do online?"
= "What do you want to do online?"
= 你想上网做什么？
喜欢 means "to like something" as in to find something enjoyable. "would like to" is a polite way of saying "want to", which can be translated as e.g. 想 as usual.
I think so, but gan is a lot more colloquial. Probably. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
My Chinese dictionary says "online" is "网上", not "上网". Why would that be?
Your dictionary is correct: '网上' translates to 'online' and is used as an adjective or even as a location, such as in the phrase '在网上' (online, on the Internet). In contrast, '上网' is a verb meaning 'to go online.'
Compare these two sentences to see the difference:
你在网上喜欢做什么？ (What do you like to do online?)
你喜欢上网做什么？ (What do you like to go online to do?)
Could someone tell me the difference between 做 and 干? My understanding is that they both mean 'to do' but surely there is some contextual difference
Is it correct to say that 上网 comes after 喜欢 because the entire action is "doing what online"? Or, 你上网喜欢做什么 would mean the actual "liking" is taking place on the internet?
I thought this order would be morr correct since chinese grammar follows the structure who (subject), when, where, how, and and action with any objects
I feel like "What do you guys like to do on the internet" should also be accepted...
Will 你上网喜欢做什么 work since this actually follows the right chinese sentence structure?
I like to hear the words in Chinese , but frequently there is no sound at all which is very frustrating!
