I have been making homebrew stuff and overall the creation's pretty intuitive, but when making a subclass for the warlock, it told me it was too similar to The Fiend. So I went back through each class feature, make 100% sure they were completely unique, but still it says my subclass is too similar. If there was a way for DND Beyond to tell me what was too similar (especially considering it already knows specifically what is too similar), it would be very helpful for making my homebrews unique.
Even though this should be implemented regardless, if someone would look at my homebrew and tell me what is too similar I would be very grateful.
1) Ensure that your subclass has a subclass description.
2) Ensure once your subclass is complete that you re-save it from the main page. This is something like a "hard save" that asks the system to recheck it for validity.
Your problem was (2) above - just needed to hit the save button to force the homebrew to re-check whether it's eligible to publish (I've gone ahead and done this for you).
Also, please note that if the homebrew is for use by you, or someone in a campaign you are in, you don't need to publish it.

A couple of steps that may help:
1) Ensure that your subclass has a subclass description.
2) Ensure once your subclass is complete that you re-save it from the main page. This is something like a "hard save" that asks the system to recheck it for validity.
