Everything You Need to Know About Finstagram and Sinstagram on Instagram

What is a Rinsta?

What is a rinsta?
As you might suspect, rinsta is a combination of “real” + “instagram” = rinsta. This is the original instagram profile most people have, their “real” ones.

Instagram has turned into a place where everyone feels their photos must be perfect in order for it to be added to their Insta page. This means time spent on editing photos, finding just the right angles, the right filters, and the perfect captions. These photos go out to all their followers.

What is on a Sinsta?

You can use your secret insta to post those unedited raw photos, but some have been using it for riskier type photos. We would definitely suggest against that. Just because the name says “Secret” instagram, does not mean it’s truly secret. If it’s on the internet, you better believe it could be easily shown to many more people than you would want it to be shown to. So, make the smart decision and keep it PG rated!

How do followers on Instagram (Rinsta) differ from followers on finsta and sinsta?

The real instagram profiles typically have the most followers. The goal is to get as many followers as possible, even if they are friends of friends of friends who you really don’t know much about.

When it comes to finsta and sinsta followers, this is more of a “secret society” of hand chosen people from the “rinsta” profiles who are invited to follow someone’s secondary instagram profile, the finsta or sinsta. Most of the time, they are followed back from someone else’s secondary instagram profile (finsta or sinsta).

Finsta and Sinsta Rules

Rule #1:
Finsta photos should be very different from your real account’s newsfeed.

Rule #2:
No editing tools or filters needed!

Rule #3:
Feel free to post real raw photos, no perfect poses nor perfect sunlight

Rule #4:
Lower quality photos (aka, not edited) are totally fine

Rule #5:
Think the photo is messy yet super funny? Feel free to post it!

With Finsta, you remove the pressures to be perfect and instead can let your hair down and post what you want.

Important!! Just a reminder though, while Finsta and Sinsta can be fun, just remember. If you post something to the internet, it doesn’t stay a secret. There is such a thing as “screen capture” and “screenshot” so just keep that in mind so it doesn’t come back to bite you!
