The Konami code, cheats for Sims, glitches for Skyrim, etc. How did these get found out by their gaming communities?

You just conflated about four separate things, so dividing that up:
Glitches are quirks of the game that are not intended by the developers that are later found by people playing it. Some of them found randomly. Some from typical ‘glitch hunting’ methods like trying to do things at the same time as an event trigger, obstructing pathways of intended objects, searching level geometry for seams, things like that. Sometimes finding by just picking at the code itself.
Secrets are placed by developers with intent to be found and people playing find it through normal play and searching the game.
Cheats are placed in the game by developers intentionally and they tell people about it. Like the Konami code and Sims cheats.
Hacks are modifications to the game made later by people playing the game and have little to do with the developer. You don’t ‘find’ them, they get made.
