The Railgun manga is an essential part of the main story, nowhere was it stated to be a separate universe or continuity. It is your own fault if you don't want to follow the main series to keep up to date.
That supposed "spin off" (it is in quotes because it isn't) is not like the other LN spin offs made to please a certain waifus fanbase when she doesn't end ip beong tje main girl, again, Railgun is part of the main series and follows it's continuity to a T and has essential information to fill in some of the blanks on the series.
If you want an example of a true spin off in the series that is outside of continuity then there is the Love Letter and Idol Accelerator spin offs.
