I'm not aware of any advantage in saying Kiddush Levana with a minyan,
as compared to wwithout a minyan. I thought that we say it Motzaei
Tisha B'Av as a general z'rizin makdimin thing, or because only a few
days are left and we fear running out of time. Both reasons are even
more relevant on Motzaei Yom Kippur.
