​Very similar to who?

If your question is "can 2 different people's OCs have the same basic ability for a Semblance?", the answer is Yes. No one here can - nor should - really force others to, say, "never make an OC who can teleport cause I have one that teleports! :P".

And in both real life and in-universe, people can only be so different. In a world with thousands or millions of people, at least 2 are bound to be quite similar, and thus have similar Semblances.

That said, degrees of difference. A different Semblance that basically does the same is fine, but making an exact copy of someone else's OC's Semblance is not fine unless you got their permission, since at best it's extremely uncreative and at worst it's plagiarism.
