Morphology
The sense 'comments that affirm or praise' is directly and compositionally derived from 'positive' (favorable) combined with 'feedback' (responses or comments). This is a common, literal adjective+noun combination that follows regular compositional patterns and is likely understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Positive feedback comes from everyday conversation: giving a 'positive' or good comment to someone, like a teacher saying 'well done'. So it means 'praise' or encouraging comments that help someone keep doing the same.
