FinstavsRinsta
The short answer
The rinsta is the front stage — polished, public, high follower count. The finsta is the back stage — small, private, unedited. Same person, two audiences, deliberately kept apart.

Which one you meant
Readers who land here meaning Finsta rather than Rinsta are usually searching for phrases like “what is a finsta”, “finsta vs rinsta”, “why do people have two instagram accounts”.
Where the confusion comes from
“A finsta is a fake account.”
The naming is backwards from the practice. The finsta is where the UNEDITED self goes; the 'real' account — the rinsta — is the performed one. 'Fake' refers to it not being your official account, not to its contents.
