To clarify what bry- said: Reddit, for reasons unknown, calls a lot of their photography subreddits "safe for work porn".
EarthPorn = Pretty photos of nature
FoodPorn = Pretty photos of food
AbandonedPorn = Pretty photos of abandoned buildings
SpacePorn = Pretty photos of space
And so forth... Those are the sorts of things I'd like to set this screensaver to scrape, and the cool thing is, once you add in the framework for scraping from any one subreddit, you get all the others for free. You just have to have a box where the user can enter which ones he wants to pull from. In your current code, you have each scraper set to pull in "albums" and then you loop over each album for "photos". In this case, each subreddit entered would represent an album and then you'd loop it to get the photos.
