Should I go or make a jamah in my house?

I read its sunnah to recite part of the adhkar after salah loudly after jamaa from islamqa. For eg. subhanallah alhamdulillah allahu akbar 33 times loudly. My question is should I do it when everyone else in the masjid does not do it. They recite it silently. If I don’t do it loudly will that be riya because I am omitting sunnah because of people?
